Envoy has flow to American. Your statement is true for those at a regional with no flow, but not Envoy. If I were captain qualified and not close to upgrade at a regional and had the choice between Envoy street
Captain or Frontier new hire I’d definitely go to Envoy.
Heck, if I were a junior captain at a regional with no flow I might do that anyway. You almost have to go somewhere with a partnership with a legacy to get hired by one now. There are exceptions, of course, but most new hires at American are military or flows from Envoy, PSA, and Piedmont. I believe most new hires at Delta are either military or Endeavor/Compass guaranteed interviewees, and United via military or the CPP with Expressjet/Commutair/Mesa.
