There are so many disgruntled guys here for whatever reason that like to throw grenades in here and attempt to poison the well. I can tell you that it's not working. Recruiting is working hard yes, however they are having phenomenal success at present and the number of new pilots out there that only want AA far exceeds those seeking other pastures. Stop listening to the rhetoric here and come to Envoy if AA is where you truly want to be.
Gotta disagree with you. Look at the PERCENTAGES. There is by far a MUCH smaller percentage being hired DIRECTLY from the WOs. (Even if you include flow) If you want to get to AA anytime soon, unless you are already within about 6 months of flowing, statically you are better off to leave and then apply while not working for a WO.
Time will tell what happens in the long term, but the flow was all about keeping folks at the WOs and still is. It’s just not working for pilots trying to get to mainline and because of that, it’s not keeping those pilots at the WOs either.
If you want to work for a specific WO, do it because it works for YOU. Don’t do it because you think it will get you to AA.
