The company has literally been stealing thousands of dollars from the pilot group every pay period. Oh, and find an error? Expect to see the correction in two months. But when the company miraculously discovers an error in a pilot's favor, well by god it's coming out your next paycheck! Funny how that works. Let's not forget the 12/4 year pay scales the company forced down our throats, the change in policy to make a 117 duty extension refusal either a fatigue or sick call (both punitive), and the refusal to pay CA pay to individuals that had someone junior to them upgrade out of seniority order like the contract and 15+ years of precedent said they should have ($5k to 20 pilots affected.) And that's just the tip of the iceberg!

The company does know exactly what they are doing. They are screwing us in every way possible, violating the contract in any way they want, and then blowing smoke up our ass and telling us "good news is right around the corner" to avoid an implosion of epic proportions.
So what if I'm at a desk most of the time? I've got no problem admitting it. I'm still on the seniority list and that's what matters.

Where's the bastion of support that I used to see on here in this thread? In fact, that's why I finally started posting instead of just reading. To turn away these unwarranted incendiary attacks on Envoy. Do you want to flow or not? Well, we do need new hires. That's a fact. We are getting them like everyone else, maybe a few more than others, but we still need them. Why turn them away with baseless accusations about what YOU perceive to be the truth here.

The facts is, there is no other regional that has the type of flow that Envoy has. We are far and away at the top of regionals in terms of percentages of flowing pilots. How is that a bad thing? Add to that the upgrade time that will be dropping rapidly very soon. The 2.5/6 is not just some baloney numbers pulled out of the air. These were calculated over a period of time by Envoy management and it's shown already that it's going to work. These are all based on projections that were created between Envoy and AAG. And that's just with the flow working as we speak. How about that fact?

Upgrades are about to drop rapidly. Forget about your Charlie Bucket. That's union propaganda. I'm not saying overall that the union is bad, it's just that they have their own agenda when running THEIR numbers.

As for work rules. Yes, Envoy has nearly the best in the regional industry. Maybe the reserve rules could use some tweaking, but overall I can't see what the problem is regarding complaining about the work rules in general.

As for the schedules. The schedules are given to us by AAG and we have to make them work. It's really a lack of mid day flying that contributes to many of the lines built in the current fashion. It's just where we are right now. They may not be perfect, but seriously, are they really that bad? It's a fact that every month someone will post that the schedules are the worst they've ever seen. Give me a break. As far as the non commutable ends of the trip, you have company paid hotels! What more do you want? Room service delivered to your room on the company dime?

I would stress again......patience. It's taking some time for the overall company plan to come together but Envoy is a major player and is already a great regional with a robust flow, but as things continue to improve, will be THE premier regional. This, along with the flow is what will bring new hires to our doors.

Just out of curiosity, where has the 2.5/6 ever been "shown that it is going to work"? Do your own math and tell me what you get. It's not that hard.

You keep talking about these amazing work rules. Give me some examples because in my opinion, Envoy's work rules are garbage.

Expect responses from management between 9 and 5 only (if not less).

1)Do you dispute the 43 upgrades/mth in order for Charlie to upgrade?

A)Do YOU feel that is feasible given Training Dept capacity?

B)Do YOU feel that is feasible given current staffing and new hire #s?

2.5 year to upgrade, believe it when you see it people. Let them take their 2.5/6, nominal sign on bonus and stick it up their a**.

Did I mention they have the two most attractive pilot bases? Who wouldn't want to commute to DFW or ORD on a day off with the awful schedules.

So glad I left when I did.

A passes would be a nominal start, I can't even believe they have recruiters spreading this garbage.

Once again we have no math to support this hurculean sugar encrusted sales pitch. I guess because fluffy promises have been so successful for so many years, why stop now ?

It's really a bad sell when you say patience. We are tired of patience. There are so many things the company can do right now and has failed to do them for the past year. Bring back CDO lines, stop rewriting the reserve rules for pre assigned RAP, STOP calling me at midnight, and last but not least hire more pilots so I can get off reserve. Being at the bottom of the reserve list for almost two years is insane. Granted it's not bad now but summer months are terrible. If you commute on reserve it's almost unbearable with this company.

And don't tell me that people on here are causing pilots to go else where. I'm not buying that line. The company has many ways to improve hiring and has often chosen opposite.

People are tired of the company's wait it out line. It's going to get better next month/year. We are tired of waiting with no tangible signs of improvement. Two years since part 117 and the company still can't come to an agreement on the reserve contract.

Why would pilots advocate other people to come here when the company has shown so much disregard for its own pilots?

So since you so frequently say it's not 2.5/6. What do you think it's going to be?

Remember keep it short. No one likes your overly long replies.

Work rules; middle of the road at best

Schedule's; March is the worst I have seen in 11 years. 12 days off at 75 hrs is the average.

Management; terrible. Ric is a perfect example of a pilot thinking he can do everyone's job. Pedro is in lala land.

Upgrades and flow; I think we can all agree 2.5/6 is out the door. We would've had to been upgrading rapidly for a while now. If they put an upgrade out right now, those pilots would not be in training till June July at earliest.

We were told that March would provide for a significant increase in block hours. Once again we were lied to. 9 900's went to Mesa and so did all those block hours. The envoy hangar on the west side of dfw is now going to be used by Mesa and not envoy.

Did I hear correctly that we are going to be done with Aspen flying (been off for a while) flying went to skywest.

Why the hell would a new hire come here.
- management hates us and treats us accordingly.

-WE ARE BEING DWINDLED DOWN.

- Losing most of our fleet.

- Management keeps lying to retain pilots and attract the few stupid new hires that think it will work out in the end
