oooooooooooo,

want and need are two different things. Ric's charts are based on needing 15 a month. They'd like to remain larger (and whispers of possible growth are back) and keep more hulls flying and that would require more like 30+.

So, they need 15 to make their 6/2.5 close to reasonable;
they'd like 30+ to stay large and maybe even grow a little.

anything in between is good for our pilots. It's theirs to fix. So far, it's working for them.

Fixing reserve would go a long way in retaining junior pilots and getting new ones. If they actually cared.

Flying returned by AAG...?
 

x-post from talkairline dot com

What's the word on getting more of our old flying back? October was allegedly the month in which AAG assigned flying to all the regional subcontractors. I know we were in the doghouse for biting our master's hand so many times...but what does our slice of the pie look like? Will schedules continue to suck with the majority of pilots on reserve? Will the majority of line holding pilots still be flying 11 day off lines? Will our QOL ever improve? I mean it's great that we got the company to pay for hotels a few times a month but...really who likes burning 4 days off out of every month for a commute? I mean this is brutal for ex-LGA, MIA, and hell...even LAX commuters. The good news train seems to have de-railed a month or so ago...and we seem to be in a rumor drought... Everybody else is flowing faster than us so that is morale crushing with the amount of trickle flows AAG has been taking from us... I keep hearing about this 50% of every class...blah,blah,blah...but they don't have to make it true until the end of the year. New hires still aren't coming here fast enough and even if they are...the quality of the candidates right now is iffy as they are having issues getting new hires through without a few extra sessions from what I hear...which in turn backs up the training bubble for CAs trying to upgrade... Where is the good news?

This. We never bit their hand. We played by the rules that to this day need to be adjusted for FAR117. The company time and time again is violating the contract. The large majority of violations are targeting reserve rules. What have we done that is so anti-company? I want this place to succeed and I want to be a company guy. They need to stop violating the contracts which they have negotiated if they want the support of the pilots and if they truly want to attract new pilots

With RAH TA ratified, this will be hard to accomplish at envoy. Im afraid the " landscape has changed again" speech will come at you guys soon...

Good Luck!

Does Envoy require Tso'd headsets?

The answer is "yes." If a fed or check airman were on your jumpseat and saw you were using non TSO'd headsets and chose to do so, you could get in trouble for that. Fortunately all airplanes are provided with company headphones.

And sani-wipes too!

Good Luck!
