The “flow train” is living off the reputation it built from 2009 until 2013ish.
one half of every AA new hire class had to come from Envoy. Those few years they actually sent over 60% of AA new hires from Envoy. After that they started throttling it to 30 then 25 a month, with no make-up requirement for 50%.
when it restarts it will shortly drop even lower per month.
Even if they stay at 20 a month, it’s 10 years to get through 2500 guys.
Even if attrition bumps it up to 30 leaving a month, it’s a 7 long year flow.
stop lying about how great flow is. Places like Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant, Jetblue, the legacies, Fedex/UPS, Kalitta, Omni & ATI will all be hiring, and the average 2 year regional guy will be competitive when this all restarts. Be years into a real seniority list making real money puts them into the left seat years ahead of waiting to flow to AA. If they live near an LCC base they’d be foolish not to go. Even if they do want Delta or United... who’s getting hired first. An LCC Guy flying A320’s or the regional guy?
get out of the regionals at your first chance. Unless AA is you’re one and only destination choice.
