Envoy has the 14 or so 175 deliveries taking until June and 19 145's returning from ExpressJet. However, if they start hiring 70+ per month, the list will start to grow while the fleet shrinks, even with 50 people leaving per month through attrition.
Are they just stockpiling pilots and will worry about the fleet later? Could more 175's be announced? Will the TSA or Compass birds go to Envoy?
I'm curious to hear what the peanut gallery on APC thinks...

First, we absolutely need pilots we are so short staffed at the moment. I think you are seeing these numbers because of the pay. Envoy would be crazy to say no to pilots right now. Pedro has said time and time again he is looking to expand Envoy's role in Americans network, how no one knows, but with pilots comes an opportunity to do that. We do lose 30 a month to the flow plus outside attrition so if we do grow its not going to be amazingly fast, but it's good the shrinkage is over.
