Some say it makes more sense to transfer them to Piedmont, but reading statement from CEO Pedro, it’s coming to ENY’s operating certificate no point coming here to then transfer it to Piedmont.

I’m reaching here but I guess it won’t matter if there is a Envoy/Piedmont merger in 2019, I get it. But then we get into a situation where it’s no longer false Advertisement or white lies from recruitment due to “changes” (keeping it on topic). Someone needs to run the numbers & data of a merged group at MEC/ALPA level, stay ahead of it vs behind this possibility.
So apparently the graphic seen by the FA has some chance of happening.... However, just because we keep the planes doesn't mean we get the base. Also, why are we taking planes from TSA and still giving planes to PDT?? It just doesnt make sense from the outside looking in. I wonder how long it will be before they announce the 20 Eagle 175s that Compass has been flying coming to Envoy?

Probably about 12 months out from the contract end date. Both the XJT and TSA contracts end next April. Not sure of the exact end date on Compass. Keep your ears open on Fridays in the future. That’s usually when bad news (for the other company) drops.

Can any recruiters out there explain why the union’s flow projection is different than what the recruiting department pitches to the new hires? I’ve heard them say it accounts for “outside attrition.” However, isn’t the one of the main reasons why people come here, is because of the flow to AA? I don’t see how they can account for “outside attrition” that isn’t gaurenteed to happen.

Not a recruiter, but I did ask RW that exact question at his Q&A a few weeks ago. The company’s flow projection takes historical attrition numbers into account. ALPA assumes that everyone will stick around until they flow, and that none will bypass. Company says 6 years, ALPA says 9. I figure the actual time to flow will be somewhere in between. I can only speak for myself, but I’m sticking around until I flow. ALPA says that should happen in October 2021. That was recently revised from November 2021.

From what I gather they use the historical average of the last 5yrs to calculate an average yearly attrition, then factor in the top ~250 who will not flow, and then the small amount of retirements. The union flow plan is if every pilot were to flow and no attrition. So I can see where recruting gets some of the numbers... But like any salesman, I’m sure they stretch that final number out some also.

Yeah a healthy estimate for those hired in 2016 and early 2017. Someone coming in now though I just cant see hitting that 6 year number without some drastic shake up at mainline carriers.

PDT has a fixed number of aircraft in the fleet plan that we will be transferring. Remember this fleet plan was put in place before 140s and 145s started returning to Envoy that weren't originially planned. We'll be getting the planes....and the base. Big growth plans for Envoy in the future. Stay tuned.

I find it hard to disagree. I also remember TSA getting the boot at LGA also. I remember how AWC lost AA flying and we got LGA back + growth at LaGarbage due to both TSA & AirWisky getting the boot.

Not that things change, or management tells the full truth, but Dee said, he was confident we would get the compass 175's and he was also confident that they would not be in LA, but out into our already existing system.
