is correct.
For those needing further clarification:
The letter is titled: First Officer Advancement LOA, May 15, 2018

Section 6 states:
6. Eligibility for flow to American

In order to identify the Envoy pilots who will be offered New Pilot Positions at American Airlines in any particular training class, Envoy will identify the most senior pilots who are in active status or expected to be in active status as of the first day of the applicable


training class. Beginning January 1, 2019, An Envoy pilot will only be eligible to be offered a New Pilot Position at American if the Envoy pilot holds or has held a Captain status at Envoy and prior to flowing to AA the pilot must have satisfied a one-year training freeze in accordance with Section 15.J.2. The requirement to satisfy a one-year training freeze, as specified in this paragraph, does not apply to Captains who are displaced. Envoy may waive the training freeze requirement in its sole discretion.
Envoy may, in its sole discretion, use a web-based or other electronic means by which Envoy pilots accept offers of New Pilot Positions with American.

Holding company seniority won't do anything for you regarding pilot bid seniority. It's a workgroup change for you so in Flight Operations, you would hold seniority relative to your class. Just as a Pilot going to Airport Operations for a Ramp position, he/she won't get any priority when it comes to schedules.
Your company seniority will provide you with additional vacation that you've already accrued as compared to those in your class that have no company seniority.

Come one over, join the Pilot ranks!

What’s the average class size and how close to being first to pick would A current 121 pilot with a few hundred 121 time be? DFW is nice, ORD is fine 175 is preferable because to my understanding it’s only ORD/DFW. commuting to LGA would be outrageously painful.

Around 30. You should be alright.

Thanks for the correction.

Thanks RB for posting the LOA.

So now, that we awarded, how soon until our actual CA pay reflects in our Envoy Profile? I’m still seeing the FO rate. (I’m probably being too hasty lol)

ENH017

Nope, you can bet your ass every one of us senior FOs are wondering the same thing haha

My friend just got the displacement and he said the normal rate will be paid on time, and at the end of the month an adjustment will make up the difference. Your OT should be paid at CA rate OT, there are rumors that this was not the case. The following month after the award the pay should be normalized at the CA rate. I would expect your employee “profile” to lag behind this whole process. But the direct deposits are, let’s say, controlling.

Ask me next bid and I’ll know for sure, until then, Vee-1 rotate!

So how exactly does the volunary seat lock for pay?
Example: say I actually credit 80 hours and I have the VSL 5 hr. Will I get paid 85?

Don’t think of it as flight hours.

It won’t show as flight hours but as a separate line item on your pay sheet.
