Envoy Air is a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Airlines, the largest passenger airline in the United States. Envoy employs more
than 3,800 passenger service agents whose responsibilities range from guiding planes on the tarmac to de-escalating tense situations
among customers. Envoy agents work at some of the nation’s biggest and busiest airports as well as smaller regional airports that
