Envoy is a business and they manage it as such. Aside from that, their policy on contracting COVID and the pay and retention of your sick bank is well documented. Coming on here and making it seem otherwise is just an exercise in futility.
We don’t care about your input anymore. You don’t work here or at a major anymore.

Go pedal your nonsense elsewhere because every single prediction and sage advice has gone south or proven incorrect.

this isn’t an “envoy thread”, dummy. It’s a public thread on the general regional forum. You don’t work for the voy either but please...... do continue. LMAO

Last I heard, you weren't working anywhere.

They won’t have a problem with recruiting here. If you can make 200k you second/third year you’ll always have a line of people.
Exactly. AA uses flow to fill the WOs. It’s really no value added at the major. They can easily meet their pilot requirements from separating/retiring military fixed wing pilots and the legions of other regional pilots.

Well, never mind the millions saved in recruiting/screening/interviewing costs and the inherent cost-ceiling the WOs enjoy due to the upward movement the flow creates (present situation notwithstanding). It’s about 3 things... Staffing the WOs, securing a pipeline for future pilots, and keeping costs down.

I think you’ll see Delta and United create better-defined partnerships with select regionals as time goes on. They were marching that direction pre-Covid.

American, like USAir before lives and dies off its regional lift.

The WOs, unlike the FFDs, are an profit center for American Airlines.

So, the WOs represent a huge indirect subsidy to American, and indirectly the AA pilot group (as do most regional carriers.)
