New Envoy Information

Every Captain you knew who flowed? You must've known quite a few really bitter captains, because nearly every pilot who's flowed over can tell you that the differnce between the two companies, in terms of how we are treated on a daily basis by Crew Scheduling, Crew Tracking, and the Chief Pilot's offices is night and day different than it was on the Eagle side. Conversations with Crew Scheduling are pleasant and not confrontational. If you call out fatigued or sick, you don't get any attitude over the phone, you simply get an "OK". When something is needed from the Chief pilot's office, the staff is pleasant, and the Chief's themselves are even more so. The comparisons can go on and on.
Yes, there have been a few guys that have come over and have carried their chip on their shoulder right into the AA cockpits, and the captains who have had the displeasure of being paired with them have told me it makes for a miserable trip. But those guys are the exception, not the rule.
It's MUCH better on the AA side.

So other than crew scheduling, chief pilots and training is it REALLY that much better or worth the wait? AA guys are just as bitter at AAG because of the tone upper management creates. Just look at the US Air guys.
I flew AA not too long ago, from the gate agent to the flight attendants I couldn't believe the garbage product that was delivered. Everyone's miserable.

They switched to American Airlines white polos. It's part of AA's plan to highlight the fact we are part of them, and as an extension remind everyone about the flow.
Hence, our new uniform wings have the AA logo on them and don't say Envoy anywhere.

That guy isn't a recruiter. I know a few of the recruiters and NOBODY talks like that or is that out of touch. My guess is that it's another troll who is trying to bait people into talking smack about envoy. And hey, it's working!
There's a select group of people on here with way too much time on their hands and way too much anger in their heart. cr700 is definitely one of them.

All Envoy types should be pulling together to help get the word out that it's really pretty good here.

This is exactly correct. AA wants to highlight this so that potential recruits understand that they WILL be going to AA. And in the meantime, they are as much a part of AA as a 25 year 777 captain.

What's the earliest you can email swaps and drops to put in a drop request for next month? Can I do it now that the manual 48 hour window is open or do we have to wait for everything to finalize? I'm just trying to get my denied due to staffing response as soon as possible

And things are not "all good" here. If you flew the line you would know that. They are 100% fixable, but right now our mgmt doesn't seem to want to make things better. If, among other things, the schedules were fixed, we were given s couple other crew bases, and mgmt stopped with the hostility towards pilots, we might have a better place to work. And those new hires reading APC would think more about coming here!
I know the company doesn't like the negative press on APC, and is it shooting myself in the foot to drive new hires away from here? Perhaps, but I also want to be realistic and post the most accurate picture of what ENY will be like to a new hire. Is it a terrible place to work? No. I've pointed that out in other posts. But it's certainly not great or even good right now.
I disagree with the axe grind types as much as you, but I also believe that it's just as dishonest to sell the other extreme, and that's exactly what you are doing.
