Envoys strategy is working. I’ve talked to dozens of those guys who are just fine waiting on an 8-10 year flow. They’ll have a 35 year career at AA.

I’m a newbie, but my goal is to beat the flow by half, to any legacy. Almost every CA I’ve flow with has competitive time, but is content waiting another 1-2 years on the flow.

As much as I don’t understand waiting it out (unless you’re a 2016 hire), the marketing strategy works.

Jokes on them, we won’t even have 2 pilots in the cockpit in 35 years.

Some may win in the short term, but everyone gets Envoyed in the end because the house always wins.

That’s the first 30 plus class we’ve had since July.

And.....it's back. I'm surprised you didn't throw out your sales pitch for that crap ACMI you are working for. Envoy is just fine FYI. Notice the new hire class of 30. That's 30 more AA pilots. I know you are jealous of these guys but as of late I'm detecting hints of rage...

30 more potential AA pilots in 7-9 years.

Dude, you are a shill. Go back to what ever desk you fly.
