Has it really been a year since the last MQ pilot flowed?

Maybe you missed it but we are in the midst of a once in a generation global pandemic. NOBODY is hiring thus the reason for no flows at present. AA isn't hiring as they re-tool for the other side. Once mass vaccination rates go through the roof and herd immunity develops, AA is going to lead the legacies in capacity and be operating one of the leanest, meanest fleets and workforces in recent history. If it's really true that you were all the things you described, you're going to be real sorry when your flow date would have come up and you are stuck at some lousy ACMI with subpar work rules, pay rates and working conditions.

Your definition of “behemoth” is laughable.
Having said that, I do always enjoy the laugh I get from your posts.

While we are on the subject, can you explain to me why Spirit and Frontier are able to grow and open hiring windows while AA is sending out WARN letters... again? How is it that ACMI carriers are hiring, buying new airplanes, and expanding operations? I mean, we are in the midst of a global pandemic as you pointed out and so far the only ones that don't seem to be hiring are the big four and their regional feeds.
As for my former flow date, I will wait and see. A year ago I was sitting happy knowing that I was one year away from the promised land. I guess I will know if I made the right choice at retirement. Race you there buddy!

Oh, the pilots at Envoy will be part of a regional behemoth, you know, when they are spun off to raise money for the massive debt obligations American has.

More LTLOA's to be offered and they are going to try to get more senior pilots to take a buyout. Meanwhile, PDT and PSA are hiring. How many more people does PSA have to hire before they are bigger than the Voy?

Assuming Envoy is still at 2500 pilots something like 600ish to catch up. Still don’t know how many are actually coming back from recall.

Ill be shocked if it takes more than one hand to count the number of senior pilots who take this buyout.
