Most people who are employed at any regional would not leave for them. Their direct captain qualifications are pretty high too. How many compass pilots, Xjet, trans state, etc are still waiting to find a job or have the quals? For all we know, they advertise the req's but they hire with way less and no type. Who knows.

First new hire class consisting of at least cadets is announced for June 21

Assuming they will onboard the cadets and send them home without a base or equipment? If they allow them to bid equipment then the furloughed pilots who are still being brought back would lose their minds. Then again, these cadets are the greatest of all time and should probably just skip Envoy and go right to mainline. Easiest solution is to only offer OFE to them.

Actually the true irony would be if they mix a few new cadets in each class with the returning seniority list pilots. Then the cadets will be at the end of the equipment bid.

And I’m sure the returning pilots won’t mind a little bit more paid time off if it means there will be new hires below them on reserve by the time they finish training.

Does anyone know how many recalls actually came back?
Could they be done getting them in already?

my.envoyair.com/pilotfurlough has the class numbers. They have a lot more to go. Not even halfway done getting them back in class.

Interesting how they’d start new hire indoc classes then while there’s much more to recall. I think their intention is all cadet classes in the beginning.

That would be enjoyable to see the golden children relegated to the 145. It would be the fitting end to the story after all the compensation they have received over the past year for doing nothing and keeping their jobs while actual envoy pilots were sent to the street.

Do you have any idea how the cadet program works?

i know the company spent money on cadets while we had 228 on the street, and that’s not okay
