Doing the math, that’s 151 new captain positions. I’m pretty sure this is the largest bid Envoy has had in the two and half or so years I’ve been here. This is starting to tap into the larger classes hired starting about two and a half years ago, but if I was a betting person, I would bet there will still be forced upgrade displacements on this bid and plan accordingly.

Obviously very ORD heavy and should be through training in time for next summer increased flying.

Throw to two potential ideas out there:

Envoy is getting the 20 planes back from Compass, or

Envoy is planning to increase flow so needs more replacement captains!

We might actually have street E75 Captains. And strange that there is no NYC vacancies - its almost as if all those displaced to N-C/F-E will be able to go right back to O-C/F-E.

I think we would have to see not only an increase in 175s, but a retirement of 145s to see street captains to the 175. Envoy is STILL more than 50% 145s.

Looks like Envoy is taking delivery today of the 64th of what the propaganda says is “at least 84 E175s by the end of 2020”. There are approximately 120 140/145s showing in the fleet.

Any clue when they’ll update seniority numbers

JonSnow

Any info how many FOs are eligible for upgrade?

The fleet projection has envoy parking a handful of 140/145’s but not many. Even after the 84th 175 arrives, envoy will still be less than 50% large RJ

I typed that wrong and just edited. Much larger fleet of 140/145s.

Wonder if they’ve been getting anyone in the door with the new captain hiring bonus program

smtx123

Seems like they do it every 6 months. It’s happened around end of the year and middle of the year.

The question is what’s ALPA doing about the non contractual bonus structure the company is advertising?
