Finally took the plunge and decided to quit Envoy/Eagle. Best decision I ever made, wasn't sure at first but now I'm completely stress free.

Wish things could rewind and MIA/all the other bases would stay open. But commuting cross country for this garbage isn't worth it. I believed the hype for awhile, waiting on the possibility of retention bonuses and a shot at an upgrade but I got tired of the lies and deceit. Between the completely uncommutable schedules, 0 help from the company to get to work, and a complete lack of regard for their pilots I threw in the towel.

Good luck to all.

Life on reserve at Envoy…

You shouldn't have a problem with being two hours away on reserve. In the year plus that I have been on reserve I have had them once give me a two hour call out. The only assignments they give two hour call outs are for ready reserve. Every flight assignment I have received has always been more than 3 hours out. If you look at the reserve list the night before and know you are going to get called the next day then just call them and get your assignment. When you are at home on a 10 am RAP and something is in open time call at 9 and get your assignment. If there are several things open and you know you are going to get called then they will assign it to you then. More than half the assignments I get I call crew scheduling to pick it up. And usually they will ask what trip I want.

I have even heard of some people once they get 1 or 2 from the bottom will go ahead and make a 30 minute drive and wait.

If you are close to the bottom of the list then you will have no problem getting your assignment the night before if there are things in open time.

Good luck,

I can never get CCI to sign in at DFW…it always says I'm 276 yards away!

For crying out loud, it was a joke. If anything, I was self incriminating. I am not giving away the real trade secrets. If I really was at Rosemont and scheduling was calling me about not signing in, I would probably be missing my flight.

It has been proven time and time again yes, management reads these boards. Maybe not Dougweiser himself, but when something posted on EL was quoted the next day by Pedro at a town hall meeting it was pretty clear.

Waiting for the Cuj to comment on the worst mistake of your life. New jets, block hours returned (for now), CRJs staying a bit longer, company flowing more to AA than they have to, it's a great time to be an Envoy pilot, etc.

For God's sake man, WHY would you leave?

I hope not. Got a better place to go? Got something you'd rather be doing and a chance at being happy? Go for it.

Just don't come back to the forums and b itch about how bad ENY was, or how screwed we all are, or how the union possibly screwed us. We've already got enough no-life has-beens here doing that.

If that was their experience, why shouldn't they share it? Does it make it less valid because you disagree or because it makes recruiting harder? The truth, in their eyes, is the truth. You don't get to suggest it should be sensored.

Why not, it's the truth. It's no coincidence that they renamed the company with such a gay name as "Envoy". The word "envoy" should now be redefined as a rectal hole into which the Airways management has shoved their peckers.

Like it or not that's what the place is now, an abusively raped, butt f*?ked shadow of its former being.
