While I dont know "why" we are getting them that way, I am fairly certain we will never fly them in that opspec. The training, procedures, not to mention the changing of manuals and not being able to use them for Canadian flying all point to this being a non-event.

Maybe we are flying them until Republic can staff them.

If this is really happening, it's not a big deal to implement it. The training should be a non event. At Republic, they just have some extra slides in their CBTs about it. Don't have to jump in the pool. And if they aren't retrofitting the other planes, they'll use those for the Canada flying.

I just don’t see them locking a few planes into one type of flying. Envoy is constantly moving planes around.

At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter and I guess the plan will surface eventually. I could be totally wrong, I will give you that.

279MQ is on property. Don’t know if that is equipped or not, and unsure of the reason for the change in the registration format.

We will probably hear one of these days. There are several that have the letters changed to the initials of someone to honor them for one reason or another.

MQ is the IATA code for Envoy, the Original American Eagle, and prior to that Simmons one of the original five American Eagles. Paying homage to the lineage.

My point was, were are supposed getting aircraft with certain equipment added to the aircraft, it has to be in the aom for there location, what they are, what they for.
Its required by faa, even if we are not flying eow.
Just like the added antennas to some aircraft, nothing in the aom.
Backward bufoons.

We need to make sure new hires know that pilots of the E175 get paid more for flying these aircraft at Envoy. Just check out the pay scales for the “large RJ” / small widebody! Also, each time you fly an aircraft equipped with a life raft, you earn a $20 override on top of your already higher hourly rate. Not to mention they actually have first class seating so the tips are going to be even better on these planes. Who needs a raise when we can use these awesome EOW 175s as a recruiting tool?!

For my edification, why does ETOPS equipped prevent Canadian operations? I'm not familiar with all the ins and outs of ETOPS
