All bases had unfilled FO vacancies but ORD had 101 unfilled FO vacancies. This indicates to me that Envoy plans to continue training new FOs.
The most junior pilot in each base had a hire date of:
PHX CA - DEC 2023
MIA CA - JAN 2024
ORD CA - MAY 2024
DFW CA - FEB 2024
PHX FO - APR 2024
MIA FO - APR 2024
ORD FO - JUN 2024
DFW FO - MAR 2024
Just out of curiosity, what is life like for a Direct Entry Captain at ORD? How long for weekends off and not to fly redeyes?
