Sure would be nice to have those 500 pilots Jerry Glass scared off right now, huh?
There were 3093 pilots on the seniority list as of 10/2012, right before the bankruptcy filing. Today, there are right at 1800. That makes the number of pilots that left Envoy between the bankruptcy and today.........1293. Think about it. AMR/Eagle/AAG/Envoy ran off one thousand two hundred ninety three pilots.
Now, Envoy has cranked up the bonuses and gimmicks and are having to pay out big dollars in the HOPES of getting 40 plus new hires per month......just to operate the min number of airframes they currently have.
I believe the original plan was for a pilot group of around 1500. That changed with the environment and dwindling pilot supply. Suddenly, you are an asset and AAG/Envoy wants to put the brakes on the departures and keep that 1800. However, Envoy management still refuses to see you as such and the treatment, schedules and overall QOL are the worst that it has ever been.
If you have the chance, I highly recommend moving to any LCC or major. Anything that isn't sideways. It appears with the union posted attrition numbers, that many are still not buying the flow Envoy is selling.
