Would help if envoy sent out a monthly email like XJT detailing where all the people who left went. You have nothing to back up your claims, but i'd like to see where you get these facts.

 

With the new contract ,
Does anyone know what kind of reserve time, flow time we are looking at for new hires say in summer 2015? As well as possible bases and planes? (Not that I'm picky but would be nice to have an idea since I don't know how the new contract is going to affect everything)
Is there a lot of commuters at envoy with a crashpad or are you required to move to your base and can't bid on a different base?
Thanks in advance

Divas desperation is quite amusing

 

1.5-2 years on reserve. Flow in 9-10 years.

 

Outside of SW, he's not wrong.

 

WRONG!!!!
3.25 years on reserve to date.

 

How long for 145 new hire to hold dfw? Thanks

 

I heard DFW was the junior base for the last class.

 

Centra, you're right. I take southwest back. Other than SW we have plenty of pilots going to all the other airlines.
