Not necessarily. I have offers on the table from both Mesa and Envoy. DFW is better QOL for me. If they guaranteed me base the type of Aircraft would not matter. After 9300 hrs and time in 45+ different kinds of airplanes my favorite is the one I'm current making my living in. It's different for everyone.

 

Whether or not a first year FO at Eagle makes what would qualify as a living is subject to debate. You must really want DFW coming to a place like this with experience like that!

 

Recency issues. I just got told by an LCC (this afternoon)I need 6 months at a regional for them to give me a shot. They told me I'd "remain in the pool." Let them know when I've got currency. After interviewing 3 months ago and moved to phase two. I live in DFW.

 

more like airbus, that is why it is referred to as mini bus.

 

April Performance and Company Updates

Dear Envoy Team,

Thank you for the excellent operational performance you have achieved for Envoy and our customers over the past several months. The results have been outstanding and I assure you, it’s all being noticed and we very much appreciate your efforts.

After battling through a particularly harsh winter, we’ve continued to lower our rate of injuries and equipment damage. This favorable trend is carrying through to May, which we began with a perfect safety day without injuries to our employee or damage to equipment or aircraft. We’re improving the reliability of our operation. We’ve had two 100 percent completion factor days in the latter part of April, which is quite impressive given the size and complexity of our operation. Many of our key operating statistics for April 2014 are much improved over our April 2013 figures:

All of this indicates we are off to a very positive start in our new beginning as Envoy. Performance improvements like the ones we have achieved during the past few weeks make me confident there is a very bright and successful future for our company and our employees.

Going forward, I hope everyone appreciates that both of our company’s major business units – our flying business and our ground business – remain vitally important to us. Our flying business remains one of the largest regional air service providers in the country that flies for the largest airline in the world. As American has previously stated, 25 of our Embraer 140 aircraft will be retired by the end of 2014 and Envoy will continue to fly approximately 200 aircraft for the foreseeable future – including our 47 larger Bombardier CRJ-700 aircraft.

We also continue to actively recruit and hire pilots and have entered into partnerships with approximately 15 aviation universities and 10 flight schools around the country with our Pilot Pipeline Program. These efforts will ensure we have steady stream of the qualified pilots to fly with us in the years ahead as we will remain one of the largest regional carriers in the industry.

As American Airlines Group leadership has consistently stated, Envoy is an important part of both the American network and the larger AAG business. While new, larger aircraft will not be placed on our certificate in the near-term, AAG does hope we will be able to fly larger and more cost-effective aircraft in the future.

Our ground handling business has continued to grow at an impressive rate, year after year. This is growth not just in terms of quantity but also quality. Our ground handling teams have received an impressive series of commendations and accolades for their work on behalf of American and the many other airlines we serve.

These efforts combined show we are building and improving on our culture of friendly service, dedication and teamwork and living up to our new name by serving as exceptional ambassadors and representatives to customers of the many airlines we serve. Every airline faces challenges, but working together we will turn these challenges into growth and opportunity for our company and employees.

Again, I thank you for your service to our company, our passengers and one another. Keep up the great work!

Regards,

Pedro

 

Keeping the 700s!

 

Welcome aboard and enjoy having a classroom all to yourself!

 

then I would not go to PSA, PDT or envoy.

 

The proper name is JungleBus.

 

I can just hear RJ Pilot frantically trying to come up with a way to spin this. I am going to go with his spin being...

"Still parking all the 140s next year, ride this puppy into the ground. I AM A SOLID NO VOTER RAR"
