Hope you enjoy flying an obsolete jet in the most challenging weather and airspace in the country, 20 minutes at a time.
Did that commute out of DFW for a few months, I would prob quit and give up my seniority before being forced to commute in and out of NY again

What makes it obsolete? It's not new and shinny?

No coupled VNAV, poor fuel economy (no future, will be back in desert soon), underpowered (have fun throwing pax off for fuel constantly), perfunctory “FMS,” structural 250-below-ten in a world where you are always restricted at 250, .78 structural cruise in a world where ATC needs you at .80. Mainly those things. It is obsolete in a few charming ways too, but those are the ugly ones.

It breaks often, just the other day we were flying around with one pack MELed in 90 degree weather

And that doesn't happen in new planes? Sounds more like a company problem.

I think their real angle here is hoping to displace some of the junior 145 FOs into a NFE status, thus avoiding the 3 months of A pass travel and hotels that they'd have to give new hires but not somebody being forced from a different base.

If you're barely holding an OFE status right now, be very afraid.

This was always their game plan. Artificially load up ORD then send everyone back to LGA en masse without hotels and A pass travel.

lol I’m still not used to thinking on the level of psychopath the management is on

And if that doesn’t get the noggin joggin, they’re cutting lines by another ~50% in the NY domicile by October according to RW. Maybe the plan is to staff the flying entirely with reserves.

Thanks.

It's been a few months since Envoy's pay increase.
Is Envoy's Cadet program maybe more attractive?

If not, Why should I stay away from Envoy?

Despite all the complaining that people love to do, Envoy is a fine place to work. Nowhere is perfect but I've had a good time at Envoy so far. Yes I live in base but I honestly don't have much to complain about.
