So no Envoy will not be able to hire the required amount of pilots without significant pay increases.
Just for the record, I think it is possible, if/when they see that new hires are not flocking to envoy, that eventually management will raise FO pay/bonuses even more than they just did. It may work, it may not, other regionals will be trying desperate measures too. I'm not saying the flow won't happen, just that it's delay/disruption is certainly possible, especially when you have a management team that doesn't see the contract the way we see it (ie, as a legal binding document between two parties). Just like CRM, when making an important decision it is better to have all possible information. New hires should be careful to temper expectations in the face of possibly empty promises.
