Actually, there are less than 1300 line holders, if you care to actually count the hard lines or look to see how many are below 75 hours. That means the ratio of lineholder to reserve is 2:1.
Movement is based off of two things, growth and attrition. Growth is pretty much over everywhere as all scope clauses are maxed out. If there is any growth, it is because one regional took flying from another regional. For attrition, there really isn't much of a difference between Envoy and everywhere else. We lose about the same ratio of pilots as every other regional. The difference is we know Envoy loses them at the top to AA, whereas other places lose pilots more in the middle of the list to a wide variety of places.
I wouldn't count on those places keeping longer reserve times than Envoy. RAH overhired as they were banking on growth that never came their way. Those places also haven't faced as much attrition as normal partly due to places like Southwest not hiring because of the 737 Max situation. However, those companies don't keep a reserve pool bigger than the pilot group of Air Wisconsin like Envoy does.

PROJECTED - 60+ more lines in Chicago with the majority on 175. And about 40+ more in Dallas. That’s the prediction up till July. New York and Miami looking meh.

^truth. Coming to envoy as a new hire or NEC for a DFW base is like buying a new Miata thinking it will come with a LS1 V8. You’ll be sadly disappointed... You’ll lift the hood whilst seeing that gangly naive young cadet drive past in the actual ZO6.
