For the airline to be more appealing to potential new hires it has to prove that it can keep its domiciles open and reassure everyone that it won't get any worse. Not being negative here, just honestly curious.
30/month ?
It's FAR less then that. The FACTS are that regardless of the present sales letters and song-and-dance routines of a handful of snake-oil hucksters here, Envoy WILL shrink. Wilsons own numbers demonstrate that in the very letter that included his projections. AAG has made ZERO additional long-term commitments to Envoy's fleet renewal since the 40 E-175's and Envoy is bringing in a fraction of the pilots needed to support a steady, long-term flow that will benefit any pilot hired today or later.
The foundations of all these projections and claims simply isn't there and until they are, it's all smoke and mirrors by a handful who themselves are the ones with ulterior motives and hidden agendas.
