Final hiring numbers for May look to be a total of 12. A class of one and the second class of the month is 11. The 11 still have to all show for class and stay so that number could possibly be revised downward.
This isn't good news as Envoy's own union has posted new hire numbers of 38 per month each and every month going forward for the flow to continue working. So at present, Envoy comes up about 26 short of what they need this month. I predicted their hiring numbers to average 15/month for the remainder of the year. Looks like this should be about right gauging the numbers for this month.
The regional model is in slow motion collapse. Even Endeavor, which offers the best package right now is hiring about 10 short of what they need each month. Skywest needs 100 per month and they are seriously struggling right now. Envoy, PSA and PDT rank in the lower half of regionals in pay. All three are bottom of the barrel with their abhorrent treatment of their pilot corps and employees in general. There are better options out there than an AAG wholly owned right now.
