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.
I didn't mean they would furlough. It was a response to the upset pilots advocating that a new hire avoid Envoy for those reasons. If that problem will fix itself when Envoy accepts the 175s it wouldn't matter to a new hire how many senior guys are currently flying 4 days against their will, or the line value vs. min days because they would still be on reserve. It isn't fair to call it a cultural change if the company is overstaffed and that's an obvious way to save money and retain the pilots until the new planes show up.
