The last class was all 145. They have slowed down on the 145 side, but certainly can’t stop. If they could train more on the 175, you would see more hiring.
I’m not saying it’s right, but someone who can make the decision does. The Envoy system is built on having an excess of reserves.
They can stop. 145's are still being transferred to Piedmont. They are stacking people on an airplane that's already overstaffed for summer schedules.
The reality is this: The company seems to face no consequences for it's inefficiencies (from AA). Envoy has become the "junk drawer" of the Eagle flight portfolio. Throw trash in, pull odds and ends out. Other airlines don't have this and it really just speaks to how poor the management/planning is at AA/Envoy.
