With the way this is going, they won't be able to wind us down slowly or even staff 40 -175s. As if attrition isn't bad enough right now, it's about to get a hell of a lot worse. Even the "gummers" are choosing to flow now. Think this is going to increase many new hires too?? The death spiral has just gotten tighter.

But according to the advertisement, they are now hiring CFI's! Oh look, maybe YOU can be like the girl in the picture and have the PRIVILEGE of buying your own ipad, special FAA approved mount, and battery for company use (to save a multi billion dollar corporation money, of course). Oh, and FLOW THROUGH TO AMERICAN******





*If no terrorist attacks occur within the next decade (despite the fact that the current "commander in chief" is too much of a pathetic coward to even label terrorists as terrorists for fear of hurting their feelings)

*Provided that envoy airlines is still in business six (6) years from now despite having a management team whose members can do nothing but whine and shift blame (garbage truck operations in Puerto Rico are better managed than this airline. Just ask our passengers, they'll tell you)

*Provided that the company does not brazenly and intentionally violate the flowthrough section of the contract because they feel like it (contractual adherence is optional for envoy management)

*Provided that American hires non-stop for the next six (6) years straight (if not, you're stuck at fourth year regional FO salary for the foreseeable future, good luck!)

*Provided that your chief pilot does not put you on a $ hit list for anything they choose. (If so... no flow for you)

*Provided that no additional "undefers" appear out of the woodwork and shut the flowthrough program down for months at a time

Thrustlever has spoken!

Hey, I like the name !

Your obsession with calling me "Thrustlever" has been approved ! :D

Why even waste time on a 170/75 program?

Because a certain well-connected AA FO needs a "special assignment" so that he can be home every night.

So all of this, an entire new aircraft type for Envoy, a new contract after multiple failed negotiations, LOAs, talks of a retention plan, gearing up training for the E175, Sims, and so on...

All of this for Jim Winkley?? You shouldn't be allowed around sharp objects. Please, please by all means resign today and go work for Mesa. The more of your kind we weed out the better we will all be. I don't normally go nuclear but holy crap man...you are one special specimen.

What 2 bases are left then?

Detecting sarcastic facetiousness isn't one of your strong points, is it?

DFW and ORD


Until next week...
