Well that’s not my fight. Regional guys have been trying to get pay raises on the table forever. Meh pay scale is what it is. I’ve never had those delusions
I’ve valued all the input I’ve received here and elsewhere. Envoy has good people working there for the most part. I think more than anything that’s what I would value is a good crew.
I just wish I was coming in at a time when the house was in a little better order. Swing gear for 6-12 months and upgrade in order of proper seniority.
I’m not one of those that’s above throwing gear for a 28 year old captain.
Sad thing is I think I’d fit in with the pilot group at Envoy pretty well. The bases are good, so is the equipment.
But I’m not willing to sit reserve for most of my career there. Which is what I’m being asked to do.
Just to be clear my decision is made, Ive discussed it with my family and other pilots and the deal isn’t attractive. But I can still contribute to the conversation I think.
Bad timing. Just too bad.
