I agree, I wish we could have gotten a similar program to United or Delta, but APA doesn’t want to.

Prior to the SLI they had been working on a one list plan. If that had been completed back in 2013, nobody currently at AA would have been furloughed. Now, it would take fences and be more complicated, but with the fence set to vanish once the last new hire after DOS moves up from RJ's the fences would go away and you'd have one list, and never face furlough after having 5-10 years already working for AAG.

It's an absolute disgrace that a guy can do 10-11 years at AAG/Envoy, transfer to AAG/AA and then find himself furloughed

APA needs to think longer term. This will happen again someday. Fix it now.

how would this work with someone who was hired off the street at AA this year? Would a Jan 2020 hired off the street be furloughed, but the 10 year Envoy flow in that same class would flow back?

is it mandatory to flow or is it a choice that you can turn down?

Why is it than envoy pilots are American pilots but not the other two WO? More strenuous hiring standards I suppose?

Why? Envoy pilots are not American pilots. Horizon pilots don't fly for Alaska. Endeavor pilots don't fly for Delta.

And how would this one list work? As an example, could the 20 year Envoy/AE pilot suddenly decide to become a 787 captain at American and outbid everyone with their seniority on that one list? Should that 10-11 year Envoy pilot start at AA at 10-11 year pay? Or would it only apply to furloughs when the one year mainline AA pilot gets furloughed before the brand new, new hire?

This is one of the issues with flows and parent companies, this sense of entitlement that an Envoy pilot should have special privileges over others because they flew for a regional before moving up to mainline. Seems to be a lot of entitlement attitude from the Envoy group (not all of them). Furloughs are a reality with airlines, I'm furloughed right now. Seems you want to take all the reward of moving up to mainline without taking any of the risk. Can't have it both ways.

Who signs at the bottom of the pay check, American or Envoy? That is the employer, even if it is a wholly owned subsidiary.
