Cy - think you missed the question. It originated as advice on the bid process. Like most threads they evolve into other areas.

I get there are a lot of unhappy people here - no reason to attack the new ones. Read the threads from other airlines and I see the same complaints. I’ll play this hand and hope for the best.

Thanks again.

It is already happening, DECS keep getting pushed down and are displaced from bases, just ask the DECS that got displaced from DFW to ORD after just had it awarded to them ...

It’s not like they didn’t know that would happen.

Frontier had a hell of a time getting a new contract because pilots kept showing up on property. Had people stayed away for 2-3 months Frontier would have had a contract a whole lot sooner then they did.
And right now it's certainly not helping Enovy pilots get higher pay rates when new pilots show up either. Come here only if we get a pay raise you'll be thanking yourself later when you do. You're not doing Envoy pilots or yourself a favor by showing up to training and expecting to get a pay raise down the road.

Why can't we all see this......Short term gain for long term gains. We are our own worst enemy, not management.

Because I'm short on time before 65 - PDT, PSA, and ENV were the only options because their time counts toward AA total time. None of the other regionals have that.


What do you mean by this? How does time at envoy count towards AA total time?

He’s talking about the years served at aag to count towards lifetime non-rev bennies under the points system.

In any case, you don’t really provide enough details to give great advice. Ultimately, pick whatever aircraft that has a base to where you don’t have to commute. If you MUST commute, get the 175 if you can due to the shortest reserve for FO. I don’t know about ORD but in my base (DFW) CA 145 lineholders are significantly junior to CA 175 lineholds. If it’s the same in the base you want to work at, upgrade to the 145.

You don’t want to commute to reserve.
Do you know what the junior line holder is in DFW 145?

Not off the top of my head but I know a couple 145 captains hired Jan of '17 that held lines for the first time in May so somewhere around there.
