At least you get paid more to deal with the same bs

 

Thanks dad!

 

Very true. It wasn't meant at a dig towards AA, but rather an observation that a great airline is being slowly Walmarted by Parker and his puppets.

 

different strokes for different folks. If I had known how great this job is, I'd have left Envoy much sooner.

Sure, if 2-4 leg days, commuting on jumpseats, crash-pads while junior, enough days off between trips to get home, unpack, relax with family 2-4 days, then start planning your commute back to work again is your idea of better.

Just like all regionals are not the same, all ACMI's aren't either.

Likewise, as poorly as the AAG management team treats employees; it's still a better regional job than most. Still, get in, get your time, get out at the earliest opportunity. If you have no degree, wait to flow. Hiring is about to go nuts and there will be little reason to wait to flow unless you have to.

I think you'll see flow increase substantially soon, along with more bonuses, CBA improvements and higher pay. Even then, hiring will be harder than it was pre-covid. The LCC's are now begining to shop for the same candidates. Frontier has a direct entry program firming up with Embry Riddle. Where will the regionals be once the LCC's are really poaching the fresh ATP's?

It's a great time to be a pilot, at any airline.

 

Screwed.

Cryptic. Screwed or Envoyed?

 

Noticed the first 170 for Envoy is N761RW. Strange tail number seeing that Republic uses RW.

 

The envoy RW is named for Ric Wilson, VP of Flight Ops at the Voy.

 

Just how many have his initials, this one make 2 that I know of. Must be a very important person.

 

Happening sooner than I predicted. Air Wiskey and CommutAir are in big trouble unless the modify their business model big time.
