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

Depending on what base you get so will reserve time. Let's say it's been about 2-3 years to hold a line. That's cause we haven't had much movement for the past 3 years. Now with new contract, new planes and new flow through we'll have a better movement. We'll have a better idea once we start getting the planes rolling inn. I would say you could get the CRJ / Embraer and pretty much any base as a new hire.

Ouch 2-3 years?! I've talked to a recruiter last year and he said it's about a year on average. 2-3 seems way too long to stay on call basically. With the new contract, if 2-3 years is true, then I don't see it being reduced significantly at all??

I noticed in a pilot contract that you sign somewhere agreeing for ALPA fees to be withdrawn by the company of your behalf... Does that mean you cannot join a company WITHOUT being part of the union? I was all-union in the past but now I don't see the point in giving them any dues.

Closed shop. You don't have to join the union, but you have to pay membership dues.

Jfk is much much less.

When I was hired in 2011 during heavy hiring I spent one month on reserve. That's coming again, our staffing is getting so bad that some bases might hit the point that everyone holds a line. This happened in 2011.

It's a really good time to rush here if you want to ride the front end of a wave.

When I got hired at Eagle in 2007, I spent 4 years on ready reserve - and not by choice. I just didn't have the seniority to hold anything except a ready reserve line... flew maybe 200 hrs in 4 years working ready reserve.

Then I went from not being able to hold anything except ready reserve to reserve to holding a line in about 6 months.

I'm enrolling in a pipeline program and I probably won't make it to envoy until the fall (ATP requirements). Will Envoy still be booming or will I miss out???? I'm new so don't hit me too hard. I'm on the outside looking in for now. But when I join the party I want DFW.

I would look into regionals that will give you a line in 2-3 months and where you can start bidding for more hours and make a bit extra $$. There's tons of those out there with similar if not better contracts.
