But, yeah, that sucks...
You better darn well believe I'll be ready when my opportunity comes up.

Endeavor has movement too, however it's a little bit different because the top 500 might be here for the long run. If none of you believe this, then you simply aren't paying attention, or haven't been here long enough to notice. There has to be relief up top, or we have stagnation. This isn't a rant on Endeavor...I like the way this airline is heading, just think there needs to be some tweaks with the entire package.

Oh wait, never mind, the DGI is a weirdly made promise that has no backing by the CBA because the company didn't want to be nailed down with specifics. Where my SSP has defined and enforceable language, the DGI is nothing.
Well in fairness, since it's made up, it can be whatever you want it to be. Hope I see ya over there, the DGI has a weird carveout, if your hair is red you get a pony after ioe completion. It's right there in the language.

I agree with most of this, minus the 3-5 year part. More like 3-3.5 years. Meanwhile, a flow today takes about 6-10.
Envoy? Not a chance. They still have a LONG way to go with reserve times and upgrades. Pay is good, schedules are much worse than at EDV. If EDV isn't a good fit for a friend of mine, I recommend PDT to them today. In my opinion, a much better place to be.
And to be fair, EVERY regional has a top (100, 300, 500?) who will "be there for the long run". Heck, we have FOs who have been on property for over 8 years who have no plan to upgrade. QoL and fear of failure/rejection will always cause stagnation at the top of a company.
Nothing is guaranteed, except that the company "to be at" today will not be that company in six months or a year or two. That, and that the regional pilot will never be compensated appropriately with his/her skills.

Envoy is in a really good position right now strictly because retirements at AA. To me I see major movement in the coming years for them. Upgrade, and career progression.

You can't disagree with me, because I said 6 (half of 12, the same thing you said) to 10. This includes those "older" folks flowing today, as well as estimates of when a NH today will flow.
I may be getting things a tad mixed up between all 3 of the AA WOs, but I know the flow at any of the three will not happen prior to the DGI for someone hired in the past year at EDV. Agree?
