Without 38/month, Envoy shrinks as attrition outpaces attraction. As Envoy shrinks, it not only needs less captains in a balanced staffing operation which slows the upgrade, it cannot cover present feed allocation at any given periodic point and so either Envoy shrinks and flows itself to an increasingly smaller and less capable carrier ensuring its own ultimate demise or attrition is minimized by altering the flow, which means the flow slows (or in certain situations, stops).

Do you believe Envoy will flow itself out of existence simply for altruistic loyalty to the pilots there ?

In the past, they claimed they would park aircraft to honor the flow, but all recent actions seem to bely just the opposite. They withheld a measly 5 pilots in March simply because they could. 300% OT (which really isn't 300% according to some), rumbles of potential canceled Summer vacations from the union and reports of withholding of E-175 F/O upgrades all are MAJOR red flags and EXACTLY the type of things you and others have been warned about for months (if not, years) here, but in baffling fashion, STILL can't seem to accept.

Good luck, but I think you need a major realignment with identification of reality. How many times must dog be beaten to understand its owner really has no concern for its well being ?

For some it seems, forever.

At any rate, perhaps you could explain how Envoy can or will maintain the flow as they shrink ? I'm certainly willing to grasp that if someone can convince me of it.
