Amen to this. Same can be said for all the other big league companies.

It makes sense...I mean, after all, the flying they've been doing for the last 10+ years seems much more suited to the kind of flying they would be doing at a legacy 121 carrier. Right?

Much more so than the flying we've been doing at the regionals...you know, flying their passengers, in jets that just straddle the line between regional and mainline aircraft.

Fixed it ;)

Hands down. Envoy. The best flow rates and percentages in the business. If you are hired today at Envoy, you can expect to be sitting in the right seat at AA in 6 years or less.

PDT has a good flow, but not nearly as good and solid as Envoy.

In order for PDT's flow to increase, they have to get new hires. If folks stop showing up for class, the flow doesn't increase. It's actual a pretty smart way for AAG to ensure they always have staffing at PDT.

Envoy's flow is set by the contract. They'll be flowing 30, 25, and then 15 per month for years regardless of how many folks show up for class.

Is it? How long is the military commitment? 8-10-12 years? My money says a 21 year old civilian will beat a military guy.(to the airlines)

Envoy's flow is 16 years today, what the he|| are you talking about? By the way, welcome to APC.

To the original poster, with the exception of this new guy who doesn't know what he is talking about, everyone elses advice is this thread is spot on, I recommend you follow it.

With a lot less pain and suffering though and maybe even a pension. Unless you get shot down, then yeah maybe contract airline is the way to go.
