I’m on a green card at Envoy so moot point, however a buddy of mine at Piedmont has spoken with the union about him flowing over and they may put a stop to it down the track but for now they can’t stop him flowing as it’s in the contract.
AA mainline recruiter also has no problems with E3’s flowing over (she was the manager recruiting at Piedmont that hired the Aussies on E3’s before she moved to mainline AA as manager of pilot recruiting) . Unless they change the contract to preclude it anyone who joins Piedmont may be in luck.
