Are you more motivated to stay put and wait for the flow now? I know if I was in the Eagle system I would just use this as an opportunity to save more money before heading off to United or Fedex. But I'm curious what the Envoy pilot group thinks? Thanks.
I came from Envoy years ago. There are people that are older that may be on the fence to where it’s worth it to go over to AA. Christmas off, summer vacation,commuting for a while. The difference could be hundreds of pilots decide to stay envoy. I’ve been at AA 7 years and Captain now but still a long way from things like weekends. Sure I could have stayed FO but even that was just becoming a thing for me.
