Envoy obviously isn't going to match mainline rates. They'll either staple us or fire us all, move the flying to mainline, and close the shop if it comes to that.

There's a lot they could do, though. Plenty of regionals have stuff in their contracts that compensate fairly for wasted time such as sits or lost days or inefficient low credit days - we're on a punitive contract that is intentionally miserable to the pilots, forced on those that preceded us under threat of mass termination.

They could also stop being such petty jerks about attendance, based on the tone of crew room grousing that would do a lot to help morale.

They won't do anything though until it's a dire emergency and they've junior manned every single pilot to the absolute limit. That's the Envoy way.
