I’m fully prepared to hear how that’s the way to get out and you’re not really trying etc. I’m just saying I don’t have enough off days to give anymore.

Yeah I agree, it is a ****ty reality. Toss in kids and their driving school, concerts, plays, the things your significant other need done not to mention the added cost of these fairs and most can't make it.

Its stupid really, but its the life we live.

The math works, and is the only way they get to 6 years. They need 19 a month average fighting to get out of ENY or the union 9 year projections become more accurate.

So, I’d plan something in the middle. Plus AA will have a huge training backlog soon which will throttle flow for some time.

I was asking about the not letting the pilots negotiate, but I just saw it was confirmed in a new blast.

Yeah, because keeping your apps updated is working so well for everybody. Want out now? Become a check airman, or an asst chief pilot, or an safety volunteer. Do some charity work. Attend job fairs in person. Start networking your tail off and being the guy they see everywhere trying to get the job.
Otherwise, your updated app is just one of 18,000 in the pile.

I knew there would be someone offended by that via confusing what has been to what will be. Didn't think it would be you.

9 year flow is useless for someone hired TODAY.

Bottom line: FUPM.

Seriously, PSA has flow and $$$. We can debate about the flow all day but the market price of our excellent flying services has increased.

Let’s make this an actual job worth rolling out of bed for occasionally, not the paid internship it is now.

Couldn't say it better myself. The flow isn't going to keep me here, but a pay increase will have me write-off leaving for U/LCCs.

Yes, true. They’ve done that before too. Both before and during the bankruptcy. It’s always staffing or other lame excuse to deny the SA.

Reality is the managers at Envoy think SA is a perk and they’re hurting the guys by taking their SA away. Truth is, it’s just paying them what they would have had anyway without the SA removal. Less in fact, since they can’t pick up an extra leg here or there like they could on the line. Plus it puts their name on the radar, and trust me... you are much better off at Envoy without management knowing your name for any reason. They are unscrupulous people and not to be trusted.

Satire doesn’t always come through. I’d never take Envoy for flow in this market. My response was specifically for getting out now.... not for what a newbie should do.

Somebody wanting out now needs to do what I said. Some newbie job hunting today doesn’t need flow, they need pay and QOL.... and that ain’t at any of AAG regionals. There are reasons to pick an AA regional based on where the market is headed, but flow isn’t one of the considerations.

True.AA could be the next Eastern in 5 years for all we know

I mean, Parker has pretty much run out of bigger airlines to merge into at this point...
