I need SCOPE relief and not the Kirby variety, that involves suction.

How’s the attrition going? I personally know of about 5-6 FO’s (roughly one year with the company) that have bailed for the likes of Allegiant, Spirit lately based on the fact they hold no stock in the flow. They think they will fare better at other carriers based on what is happening at Envoy with regard to flow the last few months.

Anyone know real numbers of people leaving?

Only person I know of leaving was hired by United... never made it to recurrency here. I doubt him leaving had anything to do with flow though. ;-)

My guess is that anyone leaving for the likes of Alligient or Spirit has more to do with forced upgrade type issues than flow though.

Really though, real attrition numbers would be interesting. I’ve said for a while now that Envoy will lose the pilots whether they metered flow or not.

No the 5 I know aren’t in the forced upgrade predicament at all. They’d rather hedge their bets elsewhere given the flow appears to be not worth the paper it’s written on in their opinion. Obviously other factors also played into their decisions.

The union puts out a new blast once a month or so and includes attrition due to flow and OAL hiring near the bottom.

November's info was incomplete for some reason. It showed 138 to OAL, but didn't have total attrition. I found September's blast and it showed 330 total attrition with 95 OAL.

Do you get the union emails? if not, check your spam folder. There is occasionally some good stuff in there.

I get the Alpa daily but not the news blasts for some reason.

Unless you are flowing within the next year or two, waiting around is foolish. Especially if you’re a new hire. The goal should be to enhance your resume and make yourself as marketable as possible to a legacy. The exception would be the guys that aren’t marketable to a legacy, i.e. no college degree, dings on their record, poor GPA, etc...Otherwise, there is no need to wait around 8+ years to flow. Anyone hired here within the last year or so needs to stay hungry and do everything they can to build that resume.

Which is why I think flow is worthless for most. Even some of those issues you called exceptions I don’t think will be issues 3 years from now unless they look ‘chronic’ but we won’t know just exactly how that part will shake out yet.

Yeah, Envoy has a real flow. So what. You’re gonna get hired for your next job before you see it happen.
