Envoy Aircraft Assignments

Interviewing is one thing, warm bodies in class is another. Actually I prefer warm bodies on the line and still there 1 year late.
Either way, August supposedly we had 28 new hires. Havent had those numbers since pre BK in 2011.

New hires could be starting on the 175 sooner than originally planned. We've only had 1 bid for the 175 and it went very senior on the FO side. A month later, a CA vacancy was run, and many of those senior 175 FO (who hadn't gone to training) were awarded CA. They haven't run a bid to replace those 175 FO's and these spots could go to new hires.
I echo the advice though, in an industry ruled by seniority, getting on as soon as possible is wiser than holding out for a certain aircraft. Years later when you are bidding a CA spot or a Flowthrough class, you are not going to care what you flew as a newhire. Especially if the news about the flow and returning block hours creates a wave of newhires, you further one is on the front side of that wave the better their QOL, upgrade and flow prospects will be.

Yeah I'd say that's a pretty significant amount. Sounds like they are doing a decent job recruiting.

True. Although Envoy has the added benefit of also having "shiny jets". Or soon to have them in a couple of months I should say.

I would think that as the regionals shrink due to the shortage of pilots, will Parker invest in the wholly owned over a contractor. Why would they put money into RAH, Mesa, Xjet, SKW while letting their own assets sit idle? I would expect AAG to continue to offer more incentives for their wholly owned companies while refusing to pay more at the contracted carriers.
