I think it is obvious though that if Envoy can't hire the 40 pilots per month needed to support the flow numbers you are projecting (again projecting, let's not forget envoy pilots flowing today are 16 year employees), then the flow falls apart.
How ya feeling now? I said 2.5/6 was entirely possible back in 2015. I said the staffing shortage industry wide would fix the pay.
Results:
Profit sharing back
Among the Highest starting pay in the industry, $40k more than it used to be
Retention bonuses all around
Critical coverage pay
Hotels in base
Commuter hotels
OT hotels. (How many guys still have crashpads anymore?)
They've been honoring the flow, and at many points well exceeded the 50% requirement.
AAG has been much better at doing what they say than AMR ever was.
I'd still like to see RSV rules fairly negotiated and better schedules. Every regional has its issues. Ours are minor in comparison at this point. Envoy is a great place for a new pilot starting out. For us older guys who've been around longer the changes are very hard to adjust to, however we are still better than many other places.
