Envoy Captains
Not a pilot and haven’t enemy started training, but all I hear is how Envoy is short of CAs. Today I flew on a flight with 3 of them on my way to DFW from SPS. Must have been 1/3 of Envoy CAs lol. Just curious, but why would 3 CAs be on the same flight. Two in the general area and one up front I assume training a new FO. But what purpose would it serve sensing an additional 2 here on a flight, maybe to get their check in also?

If a new IOE instructor is being checked out, then you’ll have a captain riding the jumpseat who is watching the instructor who is also a captain sitting in the right seat, who is giving an IOE checkout to another captain in the left seat.

1. ^^^^ what he said.
2. They/He/She could be commuting and not even working.
3. Deadheading.
In my opinion we aren’t short on CAs. I think this is the first time we have been appropriately staffed. Some would argue other wise but all agree we aren’t over staffed with CAs.
