Gents and ladies, I'm really sorry to hear that Envoy continues crushing everyone's hopes. I personally left Envoy, Eagle at the time, two years ago after 7 long years with the company. The last two were especially tough as Eagle was simply imploding at the time and things turned from OK to bad to worse very quickly.
I would like to say to those that aren't even close to an upgrade, please, do not bank on this "flow." The company lied to us when they were AMR and afterward, everyone said that AAG wouldn't lie to us and that "they do what they say they are going to do." BS. Envoy is a predatory company and will say anything or put on any front necessary to meet their needs at the time.
After two plus years at Spirit now, I can say my world is 180 degrees different. Spirit has its problems no doubt. Lower than average pay is one. However, the lower than average pay at Spirit blows Envoy pay away. The end of my second full year at Spirit had me at 85k. That's about what a 10 year Envoy Captain makes. In addition, Spirit matches dollar for dollar up to 9% of my 401 contribution. That also blows away the top Envoy Captain match.
On top of that, I am treated fairly well. There is nothing like the punitive atmosphere here in any way, shape or form. If you are a regular line pilot and just want to come in and do your job and then go home, you will be very pleased.
Sick? No problem. No BS checking in with the CP or notes, etc. Just show up for your next trip or call and say you are still sick. Whatever the case.
My point here is. Whether it be Spirit, Frontier, Virgin, Jetblue or yes, even Allegiant. I would strongly consider making a move to one of these carriers as your pay and QOL will drastically improve. Can't speak 100% to the QOL at Allegiant but....it's your call. Not a bad place to hang out short term if you are waiting for Delta or United to call. If Spirit can get a reasonable contract, it's really not a bad place to hang out till retirement. Just my .02 there though.
The only thing that will get Envoy's attention is that their aircraft begin to sit idle or take delays due to lack of crew. Obviously that isn't much of a problem now but as time progresses, well, if enough people actually leave then they could potentially have a problem.
If you are close to flow, as in a 99-00 hire I might consider staying put as you will likely make it out of there. All bets are off on anyone after that. Again, just my opinion.
