They only want 400 FOs and you know any regional management inflate those numbers so they can look attractive. Did you remember that in 2016 we got 600 FOs, not many people waited more than 2 weeks for Sim training or IOE.
Improve your comprehension. That's 750 captains in a
two-year period. But to train 375 captains to replace the flows, they'll need to train 375 new-hires to replace the upgrading F/O's.
You GOT 600 F/O's NEXT year ?
What are YOU smoking and did you buy it from Mason ?
I do remember a couple of years ago (perhaps 3), Envoy advertised for 600 and got about 105-110 last I heard and that was before the more current crisis regarding lack of new entry-level regional pilots. Fact is, unless Envoy can poach other carriers of their pilots, they have little hope of getting the required 40 pilots/month to feed the Envoy flow/upgrade gerbil wheel Mason trumpets here.
That is my only sin; Simply questioning the claims of certainty OTHERS make here regarding what an Envoy new-hire of today can count on to both upgrade at Envoy let alone flow to AA through Envoy.
