When I graduated from high school I never went back. Does EagleFly still wear his varisity jacket?
He is definitely a bitter little man. The only logical thing I can come up with is that the flow took so long for him that he can't stand to see it work out better for anyone else. The only guy I ever flew with that was that disgruntled and mad at the world was Capt Gold. Fits eaglefly's personality to the T. I think I will start calling him Ron.

Lol, but Ron has always been WAY too busy under-blocking, eating cereal, bouncing off the walls being spastic, going through 4-5 financial magazines, chatting on chubbychaser dot com or hogbeast-tinder, shadow boxing in the jetbridge or doing push-ups on the ramp to EVER have the time for APC posting.

That actually sounds like eaglefly...especially the chubbychaser part.

I think we know what Captain AU is up to these days.

Oh, Ryan...your previous assessment of eaglefly was spot on. SPOT-ON! Just wanted to point that out without quoting your post.

Desperately trying every day to sway anyone from ever coming to Envoy with thousands of posts about us (even though you don't work here). Of course you are doing this AFTER you have left and are safely at AA.. Also of course "you" would benefit personally from an AA feed demise as a current AA pilot if we all got shut down and lost our jobs.. right? ("Strengthen yourself at the downfall of others", right?) I know you never tried your best to harm your current employment or sabotage your ride to AA while you actually still worked here..

Someone MUST have done something to you here to make you want this place to fail so much (now that you have safely flowed through of course, and your livelihood doesn't depend on it anymore). Did an Eagle manager touch your pee pee in the back room or what? Did someone at Eagle molest you for all the years you were stuck here? What is your deal?

What is your obsession with constantly trying to harm everyone from your last job? Shouldn't you be focusing on AA now? Plenty of problems over there to argue over in the Major's forum.

I don't know why, according to you, anyone that actually works here and posts information about what is happening with is just a "salesman". Apparently we are all saying the same things.. It's not like people are trying to hide things. If people ask about what we do/don't like here, we tell them. If people ask about long upgrades and flow times, we tell them why and why that is changing..
Screw It!

SPOT ON!

Difference is that CA Gold flew over about a year ago. Eaglefly it's being on AA for maybe 3-4 years already?

I don't know why someone would be so ungrateful to **** over the company that moved him to AA. Here's some thinking...

He might waited 13-16 years to flow, but how much of those years he expend being a Sr CA making 100k or more? Having weekends off, moved to AA with 5 weeks vacations and yet still bashing envoy pilots trying to make this place better.

We all know that the regionals are a ticking bomb, the first ones to go are the first ones unable to pay their pilots or going red trying to pay them. We can see that with MESA TA, they can't pay their pilot because they don't have enough profit margins.

Envoy offering better pay for other regionals' pilots is not the end of the world. In fact, I welcome it wholeheartedly! I want all airlines competing against other airlines for pilot services. I have absolutely no problem whatsoever letting the better run, more nimble and innovative airlines surviving or thriving while regionals like mine wither on the vine. Maybe that competition will force other regionals to compensate their pilots more as well. I rather have that than the alternative of not too long ago of MECs agreeing to concessions for fleet growth and then another MEC doing it and then another MEC doing it and then the next MEC feeling like they have no choice but to do the same.

I honestly feel you need to step back and really think about what you are saying. Anytime companies are willing to pay more, the better. Prospective employees choose with their feet. And there is nothing wrong with that.

I'm sure not everyone agrees with you about having no concern of your potential demise. I'm not questioning the validity of paying pilots more, but the concept of targeting other carriers with a known weakness and creating winners and losers. That results in defense and starts a cycle if successful similar to the way managements use downward pattern bargaining and unions fail to do that upwards.

I wouldn't have made a peep about that. That would be a GOOD thing. But, SPECIFICALLY targeting other carriers pilots (a commodity in short supply) forces a reaction not unlike rival drug dealers clashing over turf. Let's face it, virtually all the regional unions nowadays are in a pathetic state of affairs and the pilots they represent are being batted around like piñata's on a daily basis.

It's gotten to the point that virtually everyone now has either Stockholm Syndrome, Batttered Wife syndrome or a combination of both and can no longer think straight. We have union reps at Envoy who now ACTIVELY work on managements behalf and think that's a good thing. Some of the comments and rationale on this forum prove that daily. I see a bleak future for many as simply assuming the pilot shortage alone will solve the problems for pilots with that them standing around doing nothing expecting someone or something else to solve their problems.

If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten.

....and just what do most regional pilots have now ?

Most AA pilots don't give a rats *** about regional pilots situations. I am concerned as if the philosophies I read about here are brought to the mainline level, it will be that level that screws itself then just like this level does now.

In fact, if you're coming to AA in the next few years, you're in for a rude awakening if you'll be very junior come time for section 6 in 2019. Ironically, it's guys like you who will then be screaming on these forums and elsewhere the loudest when the majority are willing to erode your job security or compensation path for their own extra pay increase.

Did I sum it up?

Can't read/refuse to read quotes due to ignore settings.
Ah, another Envoy salesmen with his myopic views of his future (or high risk of lack therof). Embrace your destiny my child, for it is your immutable inheritance.

Hey, the Envoy sales team (of which are virtually all the dissenters on this thread and comprise a team of perhaps a dozen specific minions of a specific anti-labor group and a few management lackey's) is responding here by CHOICE. No one specifically asked you to join this thread, so don't blame me if you CHOOSE to do that.

Don't like the topic ?

Then don't participate.

I just offer the opposite position. To date not a single one of the Envoy sales team here can refute the initial post as incorrect. All they can do is throw mud, deflect, flip blame and concoct false motives in a feeble defense of the indefensible.

If you've got nothing to hide, then let others disseminate what is true and not true. Your teams goal is to get people to come to Envoy and you become angry if anyone else provides another opinion on the risks. Heck, if ANYONE wants proof of that, pay $5 and join Eaglelounge where the same pilots as here (many with different handles, but some with the same) ADMIT it.

Most of the EST'ers here have no credibility when they freely admit there what they try to deny here.
