Boosting up JR Guys in Ord and DFW QOL.

Well, as a new base, wouldn't your CBA allow for it to be bid by seniority regardless of present equipment if not serving a lock-in ?

If so, then yes it would go super senior especially if E-175. Since many DFW E-175 drivers are probably locals that wouldn't jump to MIA, in this scenario, few new hires would get it and not many DFW E-175 slots would open and so it wouldn't do much for new-hire attraction as the vacuum would mean more CRJ/145 vacancies. It would also make MIA a VERY expensive hub/domicile for Envoy with not only start up costs, but training costs and super senior pay costs and all for potentially a measly 20 aircraft hub. Great for a couple of hundred senior Envoy pilots filling both seats though.

Does your CBA or any LOA's allow management to staff a new MIA E-175 domicile with new-hires first (for F/O positions) ? If so, it screws the present pilots.

Don't worry, the company will interpret the opening of any new base in such a manner that the bidding for said base will help the least number of pilots on property.

No, the Mec will waive the CBA in favor of management. The Mec will sell it as a plus because now we have another base to attract new hires to support the upgrades, bull, bull and more bull.

A satellite 145 base maybe, just maybe... I would love to hear who the source is on this one.

Considering that Republic is moving additional 175's down to MIA and has just added 20% to the MIA pilot staffing totals. There is absolutely no need for or even a place to park these additional Envoy aircraft.

Unless the rumor that AA is pulling out their MIA 737 ops is true as well.

Yes because things don't change at the drop of aag managements hat.

This rumor has legs from above.

Latest rumor is that AA will fly the 190 thru the MIA system.

You know to keep helping RAH awefull performance there. MIA numbers have improved since Envoy is flying more in FL. Crews are Deadheading from ORd and DFW to fly the MIA system and deadhead back to their base the last day.

Did any of you listen to the conference calls. The company brushed off those raises proposed by the union. No raises coming

Don't pick on the children, they are just reaching for the brass ring. Most children these days are on prescribed drugs too.

Came from YKF this morning with news cameras there. Evidently, Envoy is unable to fly there because we will not have the gate available at ORD. Other airlines taking gates. Service will stop October 5th. PSA will fly there from DAY.

They mentioned furlough of station personnel. Can't remember exact number. Basically any place that doesn't have pre-clearance through customs to ORD it's gone.
