Coming To Envoy Now Makes You The Problem
It has become clear, based off the communications we are receiving, that new pilots coming to Envoy are indeed the cause of the company not increasing benefits to us.
It needs to be said, any pilot coming to this company from this point forward, is the reason for the delay and needs to own that they are part of the problem. You may have your reasons for coming here, you may have made an agreement, but at the end of the day, a deal with the devil is just that. You can justify it all you want, but you are actively choosing to slow down, if not stop, the betterment of 2300+ pilots and their families.
If we keep filling classes with 30+ people, it will be a cold day in hell before anything gets done. The union likes to say that not signing the AIP will hurt recruitment, well it doesn't seem to be doing anything as of yet, because people keep coming to class.
The union pilots working in recruitment, you too are the problem. Every person you get to come here is directly hurting your fellow pilots, not to mention the pilot you are getting to sign on the dotted line. You are locking these pilots into a contract that they won't be able to get out of, locking them into a system that manipulates their employees and locking them into a pay/benefit structure that is below industry standard.

Can’t really blame the new guys unless you’re working to get out yourself. They’ll have to hire a lot more than 30 per class if attrition gets bad enough.
According to the union, non flow attrition is only 94 pilots year to date. That’s pretty low considering how bad morale is out there right now.

What a doofus.
What a doofus.
On the other hand, if you're just starting out, and don't have this to lose, picking a regional that doesn't make you one of the lowest paid regional pilots in the country with terrible work rules really makes sense.

They are getting their 1000 of SIC in 16 months from intro, upgrading a month or two later and moving on promptly after they get their 1000 121 PIC.
That’s the price you pay for flow. Slow progression.

Is there a way we can follow entrants into the Cadet and RTP programs?

Nobody is sitting around enjoying the life of a senior FO rather than upgrading. And nobody is shaming newbies who want a 121 job.
