At the expense of sounding harsh, is a senior Envoy captain that's about to flow upset he got a 72 hour line instead of 92 so the guy at the bottom could keep his job?
They won't furlough. The pilots would never come back. If they did, our flow gets increased 15% more a month. Besides, we will need the extra pilots to cover the training bubble that the new E175's will create across all three types. Unlike PSA and others our training program can handle the extra cycles. Having extra pilots now means no withholding of classes when the music starts up.
So far, As the independents lose their ability to cover flying due to ever decreasing staffing the flying is being repatriated back to envoy.
