Is a smaller mainline fleet and 1500 furloughed pilots between any possibility of ANYONE flowing going to make a difference in the inherent value of flow to that person? Oh H€|| yeah.
Denying that is as stupid as denying a strong headwind on a long leg is going to affect your fuel consumption. Inclined Plane can impugn the motives of someone bringing those FACTS up all you want, but it doesn’t change the reality.
Seems to me that you're just jealous of anyone working at Envoy because they are American. Let me guess. You either (a) couldn't get hired at Envoy or (b) got fired from Envoy. Either way it's obvious that you have an axe to grind here. Your predictions of the flow are so far off the mark it's almost funny. Yes, some of the fleet has been parked but that was planned far before 2020. Quite a few have taken advantage of the option to retire early and just accelerated the need for pilots as demand recovers in 2021. It's well documented that American has the largest number of retirements of the legacies and many of these early outs weren't even scheduled until late 2021 and beyond. I might suggest therapy or just getting out of aviation altogether. Carrying this jealousy around isn't good for anyone.
