Can't believe the absurdity of anyone STILL buying this BS. As former Eagle mid 2000s to mid 2010's, I heard this crap on the first day of indoc. "Everybody will be at AA in 5 years." Then I heard it over and over and over for my entire stint there. Depending on where you live, age and your QOL goals, AA might not even be the first choice for many out there. AAs work rules aren't known to be the best and if you're STILL waiting on a pay raise in this environment then management truly has their head stuck really far up their own backsides. I'm sure you'll have some 1500 hour CFIs who just started at Envoy who go all Goo Goo Gaa Gaa over these types of BS rumors but it's not happening. Things change, the AA of today has lost a lot of their former luster. Alongside Southwest, who I tried valiantly to get hired on at during a large part of my Eagle days. Never could get the time of day from them until I moved on to the LCC world and upgraded. Then I was offered an interview but declined. Southwest of today is nothing like the Southwest of 10 years ago. Same with AA.
