Many of new hires will want direct career progression, which is appealing in many ways. How many new hires is SkyWest, PSA, Compass getting now?
The problem is that there is only a trickle of true "entry-level" regional pilots. That is undeniable. The idea that Envoy will get most if them is mistaken IMO. The "appealing" career progression CLAIMED to be at Envoy now isn't bringing in the necessary numbers and the assumption ghosts will come flocking starting in January (and EVERY month thereafter) isn't a good bet, also IMO.
