People make up their own minds/have their own reasons for working where they do. Leave them be. Let them make choices. Let them critically think. Why do some have a messiah complex and feel they need to enlighten others who “just don’t get it”? No one NEEDS the insight, especially by people who are not experts on the matter. No one is wanting to be saved. My 2 cents.

Well, I didn’t START this thread, a little over a year ago:

Much shorter than the made up 5.5 years that will never occur. Last flowed was eagle hire at 8 years. Since no one at envoy has flowed, whats the point? Additionally, some have concluded that other airlines like dal or ual are reluctant to hire envoyers do to thinking of their AA fandom. Thus, little outside attrition exists compared to other regionals.
Wouldn’t the regional prison sentence be shorter without the flow? Just look at other regionals averages!
So I’d suggest you take that up with the guy who did. What I would suggest is that you stop trying to psychoanalyze the motives of people who put up FACTS on APC and let the people who DESIRE to judge issues based on facts rather than opinion do so while you either ignore or block people that have facts or - yes, even opinions - that differ from yours, rather than accusing people you don’t even know if having a “Messianic complex” or “no woman/no life.”
In fact, I do have a woman, family, and no Messianic complex, I’m simply on perennial reserve having gotten to my destination airline and my final seniority number in a black swan year when most pax airline hiring stopped altogether, meaning I’m in a rented room far from that woman about 18 days a month with so damn little call for reserve flying I was fortunate to be able to consolidate my new rating without an extra trip to the sims. But that does give me plenty of time to post facts on APC. It beats daytime TV.
But if you must psychoanalyze posters, please tell everyone why all the opinionated people who are unable to refute facts feel compelled to denigrate the character, motivation, and heterosexuality of someone rather than just dealing with the reality of (or refuting if wrong) those facts. Is this compensation for some psychological or physical deficiency, simple denial, mommy dropped them on their head as a child, or what?
Inquiring minds want to know...
