Those of us who had a dream run on the 145 were mid-late 2016 hires. The party is well and truly over on the 145 and it’s now simply a matter of replacement those who move on.
At rate Envoy is taking on new 175 airframes, that will be a massive expansion of block hours on that fleet.
Is there enough captains for said massive expansion?
2016 & early 2017 hiring wave have upgraded or entered training footprint, the rest are having a hard time getting flight-time.
Will take many many months to upgrade mid 2017 to end of 2017 hires as they are stuck on reserve not flying as FOs.
