My discontinuities were all fixed by yesterday afternoon. I had about 30% cut from my August schedule plus some the end this month. I think I got one fixed by adding back in a flight and one that has a deadhead now, Plus some 48ish hour lost days. Nothing else this morning. I still have some Mexico overnights. Anyone have those go away?

Wow thats long! If the flow dissolves in bankruptcy wouldn’t it be better to have a guaranteed interview. This way AA hires the most qualified, competitive, and worthwhile. Some iffy people have flowed that an interview would have had possibly filtered. Whats endeavors pass rate now? Probably accurate.

You do realize AA WO’s have a flow to keep them staffed?

If there is anybody "sketchy" that squeezed through it would be some of the old timer Eagle guys who came from Chaparral, Flagship or Bizex. You don't have that problem anymore as 99% of the hires are cadets from pipeline universities who are thoroughly vetted and highly qualified. They are screened and hired as AA pilots from the get go. That's why Envoy doesn't have the problem Endeavor does. And in light of this, no, a preferential interview will never happen here.

I don't totally disagree that on average the quality of regional pilots has gone up. I think it has, mostly, but it has nothing to do with special vetting or 141 cadets.

The difference is the money. Envoy (and the regionals generally, now) pay enough to attract professionals with options who live in tolerably low cost of living areas, and who want to make money flying. When you pay $19,000/yr and your employees learn w/in 12 months that 30% of that goes to work related expenses, crash pads etc, the people with options tend to leave, unless they truly love it and would've done it for free.

The Envoy kid in my crash pad who couldn't tell the difference between Montreal and Toronto would beg to differ.

That’s just another flat out LIE. Fortunately 99% of Envoy hires are NOT cadets. Envoy hires from all backgrounds.
