All I see is a bunch of AWAC guys scared, lashing out at the world. You guys knew this was coming. I knew when I was hired there in 2005.

Agreed! except I was a 2007 hire date.

I call absolute BS that you knew this in 2005. So much has transpired in that 11+ year span that would make knowing how this is currently being played out impossible to predict. Over-exaggerating isn't helping your position.

To know in 2005 exactly what would be happening in 2017 is a bit of a stretch.

But knowing that you better have 2015 marked on your calendar when you fly for a company that secured their ten year deal (with a two year extension) on the basis of a very large loan to their mainline partner isn't.

AWAC had a limited time contract. I left in 2014 with multiple offers. I did everything I could to leave AWAC within their contract period.

That was the wise play. No one hired around your time frame, including me, ever intended to be lifers and did what they could to move on. That doesn't make you an oracle. It makes you wise beyond your years.

I wish the AWAC guys luck but more especially the guys actively trying to get out. It's painful to hear their stories.

The envoy hiring standards were very high until mid 2015. The AA interview it was a breeze compared to the envoy tech, sim and HR. Also heard from various friends that flew over that training over Envoy is harder than AAs.

I'm sure that most Envoy pilots will do great once they move to different places. It's the same company, same employee number and there are different set of rules for those after the protected pilots to be able to flow.

AA can see Envoy pilots training and attendance records with their employee number. That's the way YOU ARE BEING EVALUATED during your regional flying. Also if you get fired or quit from one of the WO and they check "not rehirable", you're done with AA Mainline also.

I have to agree... There was no difference from my interview with awac vs. Pdt at the time in 2014. I thought both were thorough enough in a day to grasp if I had a foundation of aviation knowledge, was trainable and and would hopefully not want to kill on day 2 of 4.

That being said, there are bad apples that have gotten through everywhere recently, but for the most part, I see them washing out multiple places.

Yes but the interview and standards are nowhere near where they used to be, especially for PDT and PSA. Can't speak for Envoy. I'm not talking about the past, I'm worried about the future.

Tell me, what part of that "evaluation" is being used to determine whether a person can flow or not??? Once their seniority number is called, they flow no questions asked. Is that not correct? Unless you're telling me there are performance criteria required to flow which are evaluated while you're at the WO? If not, everything you just said is pointless.
