Not jealous of anybody hired at Envoy a bit, nor of anyone hired at American. If I were working at American right now I’d have been furloughed and now having to decide if I needed to leave whatever job I had been working to go back to AA for the three months of additional PSP or just continue with whatever job I’d found after being furloughed still over a year off. Generally speaking, nobody gets furloughed if management thinks they can gainfully employ them in the next year, and nobody is even pretending they are going to get those currently recalled from furlough because of PSP 2.0 current - not with the training churn already generated by retiring 95 airframes.

So I’d be looking at being on furlough for well over a year, since I would have been at the bottom of that group, and realistically not likely to be called back for a year and a half or more.

But again, you can try to impugn my motives or psychoanalyze me all you want, it costs me nothing. What you can’t do is refute the facts and the facts are that the fleet changes and furloughs are going to slow flow even more, making it less valuable as a recruiting tool for the wholly owneds.
