I did fly for a regional and Covid struck before I could start at AA. Not getting into the lack of $$$ flying professionally right now, I simply miss flying just to fly. Staying current flying GA for fun here and there, but nothing like those fun time building days.

Wrong. Have you ever worked in recruiting? The Envoy process mimics the AA interview and entire process almost like a mirror. Envoy is hiring an AA pilot thus the reason the interviews are much, much tougher than say some run of the mill regional like Republic or Skywest. Envoy developed the pipeline cadet program to bring in the most highly qualified applicants that exist and it has done a stellar job.

I don't wish any ill will toward military pilots but the pipeline cadet is the wave of the future. Get used today's pipeline pilot being the military hire of the 80s and 90s. Pipeline pilots are trained specifically for 121 and are far more ready than military pilots when they hit the line at Envoy.

BS. Not even close to the caliber of mainline AA, unless their standards have tanked.

I actually applaud your response. I’ve never read so many blatantly false statements in a single post in any forum, bravo 👏. You’re in the wrong business my friend, Washington D.C. could use your talents.

Trolls gettin trolled. You love to see it.

This is why we need ALPA. Pathetic

Wow. That's bad news for FedEx and Delta, then. American will have all the best pilots, and everyone else will have the dregs of aviation: the off-the-street fighter / bomber / cargo military pilots, corporate captains, and non-flow LCAs from regionals. Truly a "b" scale at all those places soon, if you're correct. They might as well fold their operations now.

Envoy* will have all the best pilots. They’re not at American yet.

If the structure of how the union is organized is different, there may be different mechanisms to “persuade” leaders into action. Also, there probably be a shuffle anyway with new elections.
