Telling people not to come here isn't going to make the company suffer. It's going to make the guys on the bottom of the reserve list suffer.

Those of you hired from 2016 on were offered a shinny new jet, a 20k bonus and/or a few extra dollars per month and you came running when no real substantive contractual gains were attained. The company stopping reserve negotiations isn't a change in the company's behavior. They have never given the pilots anything unless they absolutely had to.

Don't advocate for people not coming here when you chose to come here under the same conditions. One could argue that Envoy is better than it was when many of you got hired. It's just a bit hypocritical of you. Envoy isn't the best but it is definitely not the worst.
Very fair.
The trouble in the industry right now is that basically all the regionals worth working for have some problem making them untenable for many. Endevour has most waiting a year for a class date and has undesirable geography, Republic has a similar wait and a shrinking ORD base, Skywest just got a pay raise but still gets this horrific "block or worst" pay structure, Compass isn't gonna last the year, the new ExpressJet is a complete unknown as of now. Where do you want people to go? Air Wisconsin?
