Fellow Envoy Pilots,

After months of advocating for improved economics for all Envoy pilots, I’m pleased to report that tomorrow we expect to receive a draft proposal from management that would raise the compensation bar for both Captains and First Officers. Throughout the upcoming hours and days, the MEC will engage with management to flesh out the details and bring forward the best package possible.

The timing for this is excellent, as AAG has asked Envoy to send up to 40 flows a month starting early next year, a number well above our current meter of 30 per month. However, exceeding the meter will only be feasible if hiring is robust. I do not believe this is outside the realm of possibility. By combining our industry leading flow-through, the enhanced pilot compensation, and coupling the QOL improvements that the MEC continues to push for; these necessary steps will reinforce the belief that new hires will find working for Envoy the best possible career choice.

The pilots of Envoy have proven capable of getting the job done, and your MEC leaders have led the charge – both public and private – to ensure you are rewarded for your efforts.

We will transmit more details as they become available.

Fraternally,
If this pay and benefits package rivals Endeavor I would have to think Delta will have to increase the retention payments again to attract new hires. If Envoy offers a realistic flow and industry leading pay/bonuses it will be hard for new hires to pass up. Couple that with most of our flying being based in NYC and it's a tough sell but in the end money talks.
