So, an additional $5,000 on top of the $15,000 sign-on bonus?

PilotJ3

Yes...

20k total for the CRJ/145

But they do have to sign a 2 year contract, correct?

The below is a copy and paste from another forum its about a union conference call to the pilots in DFW



LEC83 Teleconference notes
Yesterday, 06:22 PM
LAX parking problems. Union or company can't help.

NYC parking similar but you can park 45 minutes away from gate for employee rate, not ideal but that's it.

DFW badge scanning at gate is for security purposes, but not sure if company can track show time and use it against pilot.

Affected FOs on the LTFO grievance should expect $45 per month affected. Not sure if PVDs can be submitted yet, most likely in a few weeks after list is confirmed by union.

ORD E175 pilots should expect end of September or later training date but still 2016 class.

Pay raises out of table for now by AAG. Envoy would love to give all pay raises but AAG writes the check.

Currently losing 10 to 12 FOs a month to LCC airlines plus flow.

Envoy wants more planes, including TSA and etc...

No MIA base on the horizon. Maybe talks again but not until after first quarter of 2017.

Conference call was terminated while talking about 2h extension.

Thanks for the notes. Most interesting points IMO are the shelving of the MIA base and that we're losing a few more FO's per month than we are recruiting. Not dire, but not headed the right direction either.

The LTFO settlement is inadequate.

Why the big spike in cancellations? Number 6 on the list.

Averaging close to 100 cancellations per day for the last few days.

From the last time I saw anything about the rules before when the cash was optional it was a 24 mo contract. Repay in full before 12 mo and prorated every mo after 12 to 24 for pay back if you leave.

For current info might want to talk to someone in HR or recruiting.

SkyWago

Well based on the weather in ORD the last few weeks I would say that 22 for the day so far is prob about right.

Looks like Envoy is getting all the ExpressJet flying back at DFW


"Envoy to expand American Eagle Embraer service at DFW.

As we reach the midpoint of 2016 and look ahead to the coming year, we’re pleased to share more good news about Envoy’s fleet. American Airlines has advised us that additional Embraer 145 (E145) aircraft will return to Envoy in 2017, in addition to the two that returned last month and we are currently flying in support of the summer schedule.
"These E145s will mean that all Embraer aircraft operated as American Eagle service at Dallas/Fort Worth will be flown and maintained by Envoy employees,” said Dee Temples, Senior Vice President Air Operations. “These aircraft – in addition to the new Embraer 175s (E175s) we continue to receive each month – represent opportunities for all of the employees who support them at American's largest hub."
The schedule for these aircraft is currently being finalized, but we expect to start receiving them in February 2017, and continuing through June."
