Envoy is slated to lose 130 airplanes over the next two years. Currently they have around 200ish airplanes. Even with the addition of 40 E175s, that's close to a 50% fleet reduction.
you're in for a rude awakening in a very short period of time......
ever heard the old saying to never count hulls until they're on your ramp? An announcement of plane transfers made in the middle of hostile negotiations is called positioning. You CAN expect some revised transfer numbers and for them to be over a much longer time period to be public soon.
Somebody recently posted these numbers, and I believe they are correct
1999- 217 (remaining after the latest transferred class)
2000- 165
2001- 88
2002- 0
2003- 0
2004- 120
2005- 65
2006- 117
That's 772 pilots to go from 1999 to 2007. At 360 a year it's just over 2 years to get to 2007 hires. I'm working on getting the 2007 - 2015 by year breakdown numbers. But since we know we only have 2150 total, and 300 that won't flow. Take the 772 out of the remainder then we are left with 1,078 will flow. At 300 a year (averaged) it's just over 3 years for them to flow. Every pilot on our property should flow in under six years.
It's going to be a good time to be an Envoy Pilot.
