Envoy 2022: The Flow of Charlie Bucket
Happy New Year! Ric will finally get his wish and Charlie is getting his golden ticket to AA. Employee relations are at an all time high, and Pedro is a shadow figure of a CEO, but don’t you dare get sick more than three times when flying during a pandemic or face discipline. Be safe out there and expect scrutiny during this small blip in human history.

For one reason or another this does seem to be an effective strategy. There’s no data obviously but I know multiple people personally who jumped ship to various places (including corporate) who got picked up by dAAddy within 12 mos. It happens way too much to be a coincidence imo.

AAG isn’t dumb. They know if they hire a WO pilot before flow they gotta pay the bonus money to them AND to the WO pilots that have to flow anyway. It makes 0 sense for them to hire you or me while we’re still on property. If you voluntarily leave the WO, they don’t have to pay you a dime in bonuses.

Am I missing something? If you took the bonus you have that money in the bank. If you wait until your flow to mainline, you get an additional 70 K plus the 50 K annual bonus. If you go straight to AA outside of the flow, they’re paying you 70 K anyways but not 50 K in retention bonus. How is AA saving money by not hiring you outside the flow? If you didn’t take the bonus they’re not gonna pay you a signing bonus anyway.
For what it’s worth I’m hearing now of more and more pilots getting CJO’s that aren’t anywhere near flow. Either the dam is about to break or more of us are starting to figure out the magic formula.
