Envoy is running a new system bid in 2 1/2 weeks where pilots will be awarded upgrade and/or new bases. If we continue to see lots of upgrades awarded, we will continue to train new FOs to replace them.
This is definitely a slow down, but not a black swan event.
Do we think those with preemployment offers at the Captain review board to be deemed “unsuccessful” due to the hiring freezes?
Separate question…how long does it take to hear back from the review board?
