Your flow will be much faster then Envoy's and definitely a bunch faster then PSA's Here you go.


As for your flow being good for everyone on property if the growth stops, I'm seriously trying to figure out your rationalization. If there's no more growth at PDT and there are very few incoming new-hires, then the only benefit to the flow is anyone currently on property (and hopefully quite senior.) Even then it will be what, 3/month? Aren't your flow numbers predicated on the size of your pilot group? So if there's no growth, then you guys send 3/month (if it's 1 or 2 more then that, I apologize for not getting the number 100% accurate.) At 36-50/year that's going to take a hell of a long time to flow. That being said, are you sure that your flow is better for everyone on property if there is no more growth?

It's because if we are small and growth stops then it's all good. That's where I'm getting. If we had 1200 pilots and the flow stops then yes it will be a long time.

None of this really matters. The advantage of Piedmont is we are just starting to grow. That's all. That's it.

Once Envoy's 824, the protected whatever, and all that jazz go...now you're down to growth based flow just like PDT. Pot meet kettle mf. By the time you are down to that anyone who is at PDT now that wants to flow will be out...see ya.

Nope. What you have yet to realize is that pilots are the new currency in today's regional world. And Envoy has 2100 of them.

We just had a job fair in Chicago with an incredible turnout. Not quite 2006-2007 monthly hiring numbers but not far off. You'll hear about it soon enough. Envoy is going to be THE place to be in the very near future. We are working some other deals that you'll hear about soon too. You might even decide to become an Envoy pilot.

If you are have your ducks in order get some PIC fast and get hired fast.
If you really want to live in AA base it may be worth it to go Envoy/PDT but could be a sacrifice of future seniority.
Im not sure what you're trying to say here. who's retiring over 5000, AA? And how could being at Envoy/PDT sacrifice seniority? What do you feel is the best option to get to AA?
