Everytime I read non Compass specific threads, it seems like they're the neglected step child. Never anything bad but never anything good. It's like an invisible regional. It's a great place, just never talked about.
Except everyone thinking they are taking our flying.

In order for that to work, Envoy will have to have the pilots to staff MORE aircraft. Based on the present metrics of attrition and hiring, Envoy is shrinking as it is and so taking on more aircraft doesn't sound feasible. In fact, Envoy is likely to shrink to less aircraft itself. I agree there may be consolidation among the wholly-owned's, but that just means more non-Envoy pilots from other airlines integrated into present Envoy and they'll have flow rights with their seniority slowing the flow for present Envoy pilots due to that consolidation.
But, what this DOES show is that overall, AAG's regional operations will continue to shrink and be unable to cover their present flying footprint in the future due to the regional pilot crisis and AA scope. Sooner or later and likely sooner, a bill comes due and Parker either makes some type of bold move contractually allowed to solve this impending disaster or relinquish market share. I think he can expect no help or sacrifice from AA pilots as that relationship is worse then with the previous management whom Parker even identified as the overseer of bad labor relations.
In the meantime, kick-the-can and burning the furniture heat the house are the stall tactics to push that inevitable bill out as far as possible into the future.

A little bit of good news for the AA whole owneds, RAH just announced the immediate removal of 9 more 175's from our fleet. Apparently the creditors for those AC told BB to pound sand. At least this immediately solves our staffing issues.

How is that good news for the WOs? Which one of us can possibly cover the flying? We were stretched pretty damn thin this summer. Next summer will be a complete mess.
