High Value Aviator Program
 

It appears that the unofficial, word of mouth program that Envoy recruiting has been offering for a few months now to 121 guys and paying them a $45k sign on bonus is now official. It is now being advertised on the recruiting social media pages.

High Value Aviator Program
 

Once again screwing the guys who have been on property a while.

Yeah. Looks like they are already starting to realize that the flow isn’t enough. I feel for those that come with this program though because they will all get shoved down the seniority list this summer when last years big new hire push all start upgrading.

Indeed. Continue to throw all of this money at guys to get them in the door. Meanwhile, the guys that have fought it out and stuck with this company in the trenches and taken 2 concessionary contracts since 2012...well they don't see a dime. I wish this company put a little more "High Value" on its aviators that have been loyal and stuck around through thick and thin.

The seniority hit will make life painful. Especially since the AA wholly owneds are not well known for their friendly reserve rules.

I am curious though. What’s first year captain pay on the 145. I said I wouldn’t do it for less than 100k, but this is probably getting close.

Nope...it's just a way to get around street captains by getting more brand new guys in here that they will continue to displace to CA.

I think part of their business model is to "churn" the pilots and keep the relative seniority low and therefore labor costs low.

aka Low Value Aviators, is the implication.

Does this imply that guys who have been employed 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 years (and earning less money than the new hires) are, in contrast, "low value" aviators?

Yes.

filler.
