I heard from our program manager back when i was on recurrent that Envoy E-175s are ready for EOW when ever AA needs us to be. All the EOW planning has already been worked by the company.

Currently being worked on. I'm sure it will be finalized by the time we start DFW-EYW.

^^^^this^^^^

Otherwise that’s a long ass flight along the coast....

Rumors? Sorry but what waste of time but I get it. It’s fun. If you want to have a guess at the future follow the trend. The LA base opening for Envoy is not going to happen. This is a terrible rumor started by an FA. This will be retained by another regional. Envoy pilots are here to fly the bases and lines knowone else will take or wants. We are the cleanup crew. I hope to GOD I am wrong.

Well solid facts from someone(Not me) that was in a recent Q&A with RW stated that

1)Vacancy Bid displacement at months end.

2) There's not going to be any matching of Endeavours contract in regards to pay raises in the near future

3) No fighting to union about lack of PBS because it will put a negative light on hiring prospects. When we want PBS(never) call and let him know.

4) Confirmed slowdown on hiring of Fo's.

Don't forget to fill out your Envoy Pulse surveys, gents. Conveniently there's a comments block to the effect of what would make your job better...

And don't forget to drop in your complaints and comments in the first textual comment box of the survey. They lie and lead you to believe there'll be room for general comments later in the survey; there are not....

RE: 175 to EYW Has anyone looked at the performance numbers for the 175 in EYW? If you end up having to use icing speeds there's a decent chance you'll have to divert. I guess we'll be getting some MIA flying on the 175 after all.

You can land ice speeds in EYW no problem unless they’re reporting less than 555
