1. I can not stress this enough, seniority and movement at any carrier is everything!

2. AAG wanted to sell Eagle in the past, with the only saving grace being no buyers. Reluctant growth, reluctant investment in employees during the most profitable period in its history.

3. Many of you do not think AAG will shrinking its FFD (starting with it’s WO and least favorite Envoy Air). Many of you are not contemplating that fact that due to scope clause affect will be exercised, AA will shrink and become a much small airline with or w/o CARES ACT II OCT 1. Technically meaning we are not a capitalist society by the way, and that Airlines are now too big to fail GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES (no matter how you look at it). So, AAG will eventually consolidate feed carrier, cut regional feed, or close feed further, since it will be a much smaller airline due to Scope, economy, Covid expansion mutation, Covid vaccine time to developed and vaccinate billions around the world. AA, DL, UAL will be smaller until 2024-2025 (watch for new aircraft delivery delays we’ll past 2023 as indicator).

4. Flow 5-yr LOA? Perfect right? Sure take your 5 yrs LOA for Flowin 3-5yrs... See if there is an Envoy Air Inc to comeback to in 3-4yrs. Sure let’s hope there is a V shape recovery and fellow pilots can come back from leave to completed retaining by summer 2022-2023 at best! Then you can flow in 2024-2025 at best. Also hope there is no other world issues (civil war, terror, collapse of democracy, other pandemic outbreak or mutation, rise of a destabilizing totalitarian government). If you are senior enough, plan on a long term regional career and vote accordingly in one accord.

5. STOP MAKING CAREER DECISIONS BASED ON FLOW! You will be chasing stale cheese in a maze.

6. If you are young and junior, welcome to the consequences of your decision, learn from it. Going forward your creativity, age is your ally.

7. If you are an older person and a junior pilot (with 7-10yrs until retirement), Pray even harder. Do not be picky, this is not Burger King, you can’t have it your way this time if you want to continue flying, get into a ACMI/Cargo: No particular order: Kalitta charters 2, OMNI, ATLAS, ATI, Western Global, AmeriJet, Ameriflight, Empire Airlines, Mountain Air Cargo, etc. or go back to your Corporate flying gig if you can if it has a half decent retirement plan. Now is not the time to live your youthful dreams at a regional airline.
