As much as the airlines would love to be able to pay that percentage of pilots what they do, you know that scope prevents that. There would have to be a whole lot more change in the model to get that much scope relief.

He's talking about daily departures, and he's accurate. Mainline is 3k~ a day, Eagle system is 4k~.

Measuring by daily departures isn’t the best way to compare work loads. You can do three TYR turns for one transcontinental flight.

So are you saying that one departure and one arrival, with a 3 hour cruise segment in the middle is MORE work load than three quick turns/flight segments in the same time frame?

Depends, it’s not black and white. Of course eagle will have more departures due to flying shorter segments on average and mainline relying on eagle to feed the hubs and longer haul stuff.

Um. Yeah I know how that works. That’s not the point I was making.

More Envoy flying is good. Even quicker upgrades and that many more in the flow pipeline. I say that having flowed.

Pipeline patrol operators quaking with fear of losing their pipeline patrol pilots.

Prediction: dera hired UAL. On the other hand, deraa remains for 5 more years.

You astound me. More regional flying is absolutely the worst thing to happen. Adding more regional flying is nearly as bad as scope relief. We dont want to fly at the regional level, we want to move on. More flying at mainline means more pilots needed at mainline.

Granted, there is a balance as we need people moving at the regional level to keep the flow going and we certainly dont want to hamstring Envoy, but really more isnt better. I actually feel we struck a good balance with the PP flow rate. Even a steady 25 a month would be great so long as it was guaranteed.

More Envoy flying at the expense of mainline is good??? And you say that as someone that has supposedly flowed??? You expose yourself even more as the troll you are.
