Both DFW and ORD should be offered to DECs in the coming classes until the next vacancy comes out in a few months. Just because you are awarded ORD in class next month doesn’t mean you won’t get displaced to PHX in May and then DFW in October. I never would have thought DFW would be a junior base, but it’s so large now, it is. |

Oh, I understand that. My point is that this is a major decision in most people's lives. If there is a union bid out for X number of positions, just share the information. The company must have some idea of the numbers of pilot vacancies and where they envision they will fall. That should be shared.
In a perfect world the job offer should state what base you are initially being assigned. I shouldn't have to quit a current job only to find this out on day one of orientation. In the case of regionals especially, they don’t even file their own flight plan so to speak. Where they fly is decided by main line and they react accordingly. |
I wonder if any AA pilots on the narrow body have gone back to Envoy to come in at a higher pay rate & collect $100K. Say 1st. or 2nd. year at AA @ $90 or $137 per hour & go to $146 to $213 per hour plus the $100K.

There actually is a narrow age band this makes some sense if you don't mind perpetual junior status. Flow to AA take the flow bonus. Return to WO take the DEC bonus. Then retire.

God bless them. That close to retirement and willing to deal with regional CA reserve for your remainder of time? Crazy.

What’s the crash pad situation in DFW? Decent variety?
Also, are you offered health care on day 1? thanks |

Bad things happen to good people
I can’t start a new thread yet.
So the question is about having a felony record and applying for Envoy. The charges were financial and isolated to his own business. He has 4000TT of which 820hrs are in the Saab 340 and ATR 42/72-600 combined which were at a 121 operation. He has his 1st class medical and is instrument current. His background is very diverse from Navy, 10 yrs Law Enforcement, owning his own business to flying for a part 121 operation for 18 months. He’s turn key. Upgradable in months. “Bad things happen to good people” Should he apply? Maybe if a recruiter sees this thread they can share some insight. |
