Or do you still inform the new hires what bases and equipment is available prior to class? If they decide to take the class and bases/equipment offered and wait till they are displaced they will see new folks junior to them being hired off the street going straight to the 175. I don't know the answer to this dilemma (if it is) but just seems like something that needs to be considered and managed by your recruiting department. Just an observation.
I wouldn't worry about what plane you are initially hired into. The pay is equally as bad for all planes at Eagle. If you want to fly for a company, show up to class, get your seniority date as early as possible, and then transfer to the equipment you want when given the opportunity. At Eagle, our contract only allows FOs to transition to a different jet during upgrade or during displacement (shuffling planes/pilots/bases). Eagle likes to displace and retrain all the time, so there's a good chance you'll end up getting type rated on multiple planes as an FO if you go to Eagle.

Piedmont had nothing to hide we knew it was going to pass not matter what PSA did. Didn't see any of us ragging you guys on your vote did you?? Look at our posts and my posts. We had nothing to hide and after all the crap you talked you took one of the worst TA's out of all 3 WO's. Come on man you could've said we will vote on the first offer and first offer only. But you took the scraps. hahahahahaha sorry but I thinks it great how all the crap talkers have come to be silenced.
For the rest of Envoy good luck with your 175's and flow. Because we at Piedmont are very happy with our deal. And no we don't even want your 145's.
The trash talking Envoy people needed a good back hand slap across the face

Anyone who walks out I'd laugh and say don't let the door hit you in the a$$ as you walk out. That's a blessing for Envoy because that shows what a douche bag of an employee they just watched walk out the door and they'll be much better off without them.

Kids these days!! Damn!! You want someone to hold your hand while you pee?
This was just a question. I was at Eagle and I was the senior person in the class because I'm over 50. I'm not a kid! I had my choice of any airplane and I chose the ATR. Why? QOL and I knew I would rise in seniority faster. Within the first year I was 5 from the top. Then BR came and ruined everything.

When I got offered a class I was told of what my choices were before I started in the event I wanted to defer. I took the first class offered because seniority is everything. I'm not sure how it works since I've been gone for over 2 years. Prior to that I worked ATC for 25 years and retired in 2008.

I've been peeing for over 56 years. I can even do it in the dark so, no, I don't you to hold my hand or my pecker.

I'm sorry if I insulted you with my lack of experience. I defer to oh great Billyho. Sounds like you go it all figured out. Consider me schooled! I await with eager anticipation your next pearls of wisdom to a young buck like myself! Oh please, please enlighten me and set me straight with all your years of experience.

LOL. There should be a disclaimer to guys like you that post perfectly reasonable questions towards the board that reads something like:

"WARNING: Your questions on these forums may be met by bitterness, sarcasm, condescension and douchebaggery due to the current housing of the Top 1% of regional airline pilots who hate their life and their job and won't ever be happy, even though this career choice was theirs to begin with, being fully aware of the predicaments and consequences".

What are you talking about? Reserve/schedules at American are waaaay better than it ever was at EGL.

You totally missed my point by a long shot. You're better off trying to get hired at a Major without the flow and therefore get in the front of this hiring wave, then wait 10 years to use your flow-through rights. Where did I say that sitting reserve at Envoy is better than American?

If that was your point you should've said that because you would be correct.
