Leave it to this pilot group to be upset about the best news we’ve had in over a year...

Thats your opnion

I was actually glad to see guys getting out and going places and not waiting on flow.

ENY is flowing pilots because they have to when AA is hiring. AA is hiring because they need pilots. I’m pretty sure that’s as deep as the conspiracy goes.

This is unequivocally good news. It’s still good for those that are actively trying to go elsewhere, because the guys that will flow in the fall were the ones holding the CA seat you needed for PIC time, the line you wanted, the vacation, the OT, etc. Movement is good for everyone.

And why is AA hiring?

1. Retirements
2. COVID PAX loadfactor recovery

Summer numbers are better than even the most optimistic scenarios 3 months ago.

I wonder how many just cost themselves a flow slot by bidding over to the heavy in the last two bids? That would be less than ideal to have just cost yourself $250,000 at the end of your career because you really wanted to fly the big Envoy iron.

Didn’t they know this was just a momentary blip in human history?

I was looking at an 8-9 yr. flow before this crap. If flow affects me it'll be because my career failed utterly.

I’ll be more than happy to be wrong. But it still hasn’t happened. We’ll see when those flows and Envoy new hires actually happen, and how many there really are. As someone else pointed out the flow numbers will still be even less than they were.
