THERE MAY NOT BE BACKFILLS.
Doing the math, that’s 151 new captain positions. I’m pretty sure this is the largest bid Envoy has had in the two and half or so years I’ve been here. This is starting to tap into the larger classes hired starting about two and a half years ago, but if I was a betting person, I would bet there will still be forced upgrade displacements on this bid and plan accordingly.
Obviously very ORD heavy and should be through training in time for next summer increased flying.
Throw to two potential ideas out there:
Envoy is getting the 20 planes back from Compass, or
Envoy is planning to increase flow so needs more replacement captains!
