I've flown with a number of captains that were supposed to flow earlier this year that are now going to be waiting until November at the earliest. FO hiring at Envoy has also slowed considerably despite taking delivery of new aircraft every week. Definitely some correlation but I wouldn't say causation. The union shows very low attrition this year (both flow to mainline/other airlines). Seems that the company is projecting that we are well staffed for the near future and as a result ended the large bonus for high time FOs and DECs. I'm sure hiring will pick up again in the Fall to support the new metal coming to property next year. Though as the guy above me said, Spirit/Frontier/Southwest FOs are all throwing apps in for all the legacies which will further slow attrition at the regionals.
