The LOA regarding hotels in NY is not the one set to expire. The LOA set to expire is the one that allows forcing FOs on reserve with 800-950 hours of 121 time to fly.

2024 is the expiration and it has a limited re-opener in October of 2022 which any agreements must be cost neutral to the company. So basically this contract will be around for at least 7 more years because AAG will not be in any hurry to come to an agreement when we are cheaper than others.

Unless they need something from us of course and then contract is back open again. B

I feel safe saying that you will get a base transfer from ORD-LGA during the first vacancy bid run while you are in training provided you get the 145. Lately, Envoy has been making pilots wait 3-4 months for the transfer, so it is possible you could have to work in Chicago for a minute after IOE depending on timing. If you do not get the 145, we have permanent FO seat lock here, so NY will be off the table. You seem to know this already, but just in case.

There is unfortunately very little flying on the 145 in any base as a reserve pilot. I averaged around 10 hours a month while in NYC earlier this year. This fleet is extremely bloated with pilots. You can pad your hours with OT if you live in base, but I am not sure what a realistic expectation might be doing this.

Reserve in LGA is currently about 9 mos. out of training, 12-13 mos from hire.

NYC may close tomorrow, or it may double in size. Projections the co. shared with us recently suggested that it was being cut dramatically, but the reality has been very different (almost 30% off so far). AA is very capricious and unpredictable, and they are the ones who decide where we fly.
Based on the schedules being published for January it will be at least 9 months for me before steadily holding a line. and at least 12 months from Date of hire. So this ^ is accurate.

Reserve flying is crap unless you are senior on the reserve list and proffer for it, even then, no chance of going over guarantee.

Open time? What open Time? I request 99% of the open time I am legal for and almost never get approved for any. And if you don't live in base, i assume it would not be worth it.

in terms of base shrinkage? we lost 20 lines for a month but got at least some of them back the next month. Who knows what happens next month? hopefully good things . Right now, though, it doesn't seem like AA/Envoy are interested in growing NY.

For those who unluckily got the 145 recently, is there a way in DECS to look at each base and determine the junior lineholder? I don't care which base I'm in, just where has the best chance to build hours and hold a line (one day...). I've heard it could be NYC or ORD.

(Edit: I do understand the contradictory nature in the above statements using words "145" and "build hours" in the same post)

There is an interactive seniority list on envoy.alpa.org website. Wait a bit for it to be updated, that will be your best bet guessing tool going forward.

Funny how the 145 is the new CRJ in the hearts and the minds of the newhires )))

Quit your *****ing, cash your bonus check, and suck it up. If you didn’t research before you came then it’s your own fault. Envoy runs in cycles and soon the reserves will be purged and holding lines. There are captains here who ensured years on reserve and you should probably complain to them because they love hearing about how you got a big ole check to come here, retentions bonuses and other perks that they didn’t. They love to hear about your rough life.

The 145 is a great airplane to fly and will treat you well. Get your nose in the books and off of APC. You’d better embrace the WSCOD because you’re paired with her for the next two years. PIT mode is your friend, and enjoy the last jet that you can fly 250 to the marker in and still fully configure by 1000’.
