I have a strong suspicion the grass will be greener at my next job, and in the event it isn’t, heck, the door to AA will then be open should I choose to walk through it. What disappoints me are the games AA recruitment is playing with Envoy pilots who are diligently working to get hired outside the flow. “It’s like getting accepted to an Ivy League school,” one of them told me. I didn’t say it, but I certainly thought that was a disingenuous and dismissive comment to make to someone who’s more qualified (in terms of 121 experience) than many of their off-the-street hires. Business is business, however, and it is time for the next transaction! Best of luck at SWA!
