I’m sure we are only getting those guys currently. The reason why we aren’t getting more Expressjet, tsa, and other disgruntleds is that they can’t justify coming here and making less if they are “good enough” to get hired at a higher paying place. Example: if Envoy went tits up tomorrow and you were resigned to commuting would you choose Mesa or endeavor? Ans: endeavor. And that’s why their classes are all full.
Our pay may not be matched yet because envoy knows there is a few months before open endeavor classes. Perhaps they figure some high value aviators may choose not to wait on a class and we can get them cheap
