The truth is nobody knows how the seniority will play out. As has been said before, when the flow first started years ago we were told every pilot on the American Eagle list would be at AA in 5 years.
Yes, just like any wave, if you are on the front side you will be better off, I just don’t think that wave will really be that big.
I think that “plan” to hire 500 DECs is very much more wishful thinking to hire that many. With everyone one else sweeting their pot, the new golden contract doesn’t shine near as bright anymore. Sure, just like always and I have said this many times, Envoy works for SOME, but I just don’t think it will lure that many.
And being told flow was five years proves my point. It’s not contractual. There is NOTHING Envoy can do to make that happen and in fact they just did something that makes it 25 percent longer.
