The irony of offering bonuses based upon type ratings and flushing seniority with the other hand and expecting no one to notice, priceless.
Well Envoys new campaign to promote how they are hiring into the 175 shows that is one factor to consider for new hires and where they go. Even though seniority progression would be way faster on the CRJ, you have people that just want to fly the new plane. That is why the company is still hiring into the 175 and leaving the CRJ thin. Well that and the fact that we don't have anything that would stop them from blocking transitions other than a pat on the back and a promise that "We'll take care of you eventually" from management.
I've bumped up about 20 or so numbers since the first of the month and we have a bunch still out there with class dates. I'm not sure why they insist on taking those that are on the fence about leaving and giving them a big shove in the back. Those that are going to leave will still leave, but they are giving all the incentive needed to those that haven't updated their log books to get out and apply.
