And it only took 5 pages of ****ing and moaning to get it.

That's one perspective/possability. If envoy continues to shrink the 145 fleet at the same pace people leave then there will be no displacements off it. In that case all new hires will get the 175 as it is growing. That would leave someone hired this summer as the bottom guy on the 145 hating life. Similar thing happened on the crj back in 2010/11 with new guys getting crj lines while emj guys hired years before were on ready reserve listening to complaints about junior guys not getting the lines they wanted. Only after multiple small displacements was the sifting completed and seniority evened out. Likely same thing will happen again

We are getting 2 EMJs out of the desert to cover flying from DC.

We should be done shrinking by the end of this year. I believe the CRJs will stay longer than expected. AAG need us to fly those Aspen trips, which nobody else can do them.

I think once the 175s get into property envoy might be a place to be again.

I agree that it could possibly be the place to be in the future, however in the meantime it needs a serious QOL makeover.

Management's strategy is to TALK about how great things will be, all the while doing the exact opposite. Our "leadership" (I use that word very loosely) have made employee-management relations the worst in this companies history. A new-hire coming here could very well be getting ahead of the game in their career, just be prepared to be treated like a piece of dirt for the foreseeable future.

The thread is about 175s and who gets on them. I'm saying that if your already at envoy and your not scheduled to get on one of the first deliveries then your stuck on the 145 bc they will never displace you off of it in our 2 bases. New hires will be getting the 175s as they are brought on property. 145s will not leave entirely and it'll be doing atr flying while the 175 does longer legs. Let's all look forward to the internal strife that will cause. That is all.......

There has to be more displacements when the CRJ leaves. Also, even if we keep the CRJ displaced pilots (like myself) will likely bid the 175.

Well the 145 seems that will stay the biggest fleet here for at least 5-6 more years. So there will be always new hires in that equipment. I remember the CRj guys in my NH and subsequent classes, they got lines quicker than me. But at the end once I got a line my QOL got better quicker than theirs.

Most of them ended up on reserve when we started losing flying to other airlines.

And more to follow

We still have CRJ transfers (eventually completed by 2018), but the EMB transfers could easily come from parked jets and short term storage jets and not from active ones....
Still, they're flexible enough to change as needed.

As was foretold.

Currently true, but that could change

They need to fix QOL first before anybody recommends it again in my opinion. They came out with their turning it around stuff, then did nothing to back it up, and actually treated us worse.

Reneging on promises has been their M.O. for decades. That's a major point I made about your incessant sales tactics here that others may be unaware of. Everyone should be able to get more than one side to a story (or sales pitch).

Looks like it's time to admit that it doesn't appear to be a very good time to be an Envoy pilot after all.

decades? AAG has only been running the show since December 2013. There are significant and distinct differences. On our end at Envoy they actually get less direct intervention than AMR used to ever do. Unfortunately we are stuck with managers and upper level management who only know how to do things the AMR way.

Depends, doesn't it. QOL issues change all the time. We're in the middle of contract negotiations over entire sections of the CBA; so knowing them it makes perfect sense the pain they're inflicting. Every month we see more of the super senior guys punch out to AA, and it makes their bogus offers look good by comparison.
