Personally I don't think that is good news. I want the flying, and the pilots, at AA. Of course we still may be headed that way, when you look at retirement numbers, but it would be much much better for every pilot at envoy if they kept us the same size and flowed the surplus pilots, like AA was asking us to start doing. This cements metering for the long term, and while that isn't the worst thing that could happen with the flow, it is far from the best.
While I am glad they finally opened their immensely deep pockets to get enough new hires to flow 30, the agreement said they were supposed to try for 50%, and only meter if operationally required. Pushing for big growth isn't an operational requirement. With AA supposedly set to hire 800-1000 next year, 330 is woefully short, at the expense of all of us.
