You’ve got good people there now; but the ones expressing interest in the job thus far shouldn’t be the only options. You have a complete full CBA negotiation in 2024 and making Envoy the best career possible should be the primary goal, not flow. The company will build/fix flow all on their own when/if they can’t get pilots. So, don’t waste negotiating capital fixing their recruitment program.

seriously, start talking with your senior pilots that aren’t planning to leave. Get one that won’t mind 100 hrs pay credit with only 20 Hrs fly back actually requested. You’d be surprised how many would be interested but just don’t know the process to run for the office. It’s actually much easier than being elected a CA or FO rep. There is none of the ALPA nominations, ballots and stuff like that.
I’d encourage the senior CA’s to consider taking on the job. If interested, call the chairman and talk with him. He can’t nominate or vote, but he can walk you through the process. His recommendation will carry a great deal of weight; as it should.

as a senior lifer it might be nice to have some administrative leadership experience on the resume for the post 65 retirement job....
