Skywest lets you take your pay seniority with you. So say someone has been at a different regional for 3 years and has 1,000 121 time you can go there and start at third year captain pay right away.
Envoy has to fix their reserve system and or increase their hourly rates. To attract anyone eligible to be a street captain.
I’m strongly contemplating jumping ship to Endeavor, for this exact reason. Haha! It’s a tough decision to make. Just thinking long term here.
One thing I love about this HVA fiasco recruiting tool is that Envoy is showing it’s true colors on how it views its current Pilots/Employees on property. Unlike other Regionals. I suspect attrition will take a hit soon from various directions. If I’m thinking about it, I know others are as well. The math added up.
Once FO’s get close to 1,000 hrs. They can jump ship to Endeavor (1st yr at Envoy, means u owe approx $10K out of your approx $20K bonus If you left before your 2-yr mark. Well guess who is still paying its pilots bonuses??? Endeavors! That $10K bonus can pay off the remainder of the 2yr contract at Envoy. Facts.
Guess who is not requiring you to sign up for 2yrs for a Bonus or to pay back the $10k bonus they give you? Endeavor. Because they have confidence in their product and “VALUE” their Pilots on property.
Great timing to be a regional pilot overall. Endeavor is Upgrading folks who have the time as well. Much much better CA rate, Soft Pay, and reserve rules. Facts. Tough decisions I’m looking into.
Should I stay or should I go? Haha
