That's a good attitude to have and something a lot of people have used to their advantage regarding the flow thru over the last five years since the current round of arbitrations and agreements have taken effect. I think the number of guys who have benefited from those agreements is approaching 1000 pilots.

I am also of the belief that take home income will also continue to be pushed up especially for FOs over the next 6-12 months.

Even with all that being said if Envoy doesn't fit your needs down the road you always have the ability to make a change whether it's a lateral move, LLC or trying to find a street captain spot somewhere.

Enjoy driving to work while your here though. That aspect alone will make the job much better. Good luck to you.

Exactly. Enjoy training and study hard, because everybody else will be in the E-175. Limitations and memory items first...

CRJ is a great plane, better performance and fun to fly than the 175.

Does anyone know if the 15k bonus is paid out in a one time installment ? Or is it spread out ?

One time, less tax withholding. First day of class.

For what it's worth, I'm an October CRJ hire. The company has been good to me and I've enjoyed my time here. (New hire bonus, retention bonus, profit sharing ect). The crews and training are some of the best around, aircraft are well maintained, and I get along with scheduling with the exception of one in particular. Who knows....maybe I've been lucky. That being said, it's still a job and the pay NEEDS to change or even content guys like me will start to look elsewhere. I work for money not just a possible carrot at the end of the stick. For now, I'm betting the pay will change and I get to ride that wave. Either way, your happiness here should be what you make of it. Not someone else's projection on a message board of what it should be. Come in positive and you'll do fine.

Bingo, that's the right attitude to have. This place is FAR from perfect, but the majority of people who talk smack about envoy don't even work here. I'd venture to say many of them are jealous of our flow as well. Most regional jumpseaters I take ask about it which leads me to believe that's the case. Jealousy is a very ugly trait and it comes out in spades on this forum.

I've been here through the hell years and get to sit in the right seat while anyone hired in 2011 anywhere else is a captain, besides expressjet.

Outside of being at an airline that downsized, eagle is a solid place. I think guys coming in now have good timing. We will continue to have cash thrown at us, as that seems to be their only idea outside flow.

Planes are well maintained, crews are good. Training is great. As someone who attended multiple job fairs, got the United interview once already, and wants to have a career at a legacy I'm very thankful for the flow. I think many don't realize how difficult it is to get hired at mainline.
