But it will be 30 for the PP group as well. They want to get through the "previous agreement" groups as quickly as possible. Then they can go to making all 3 wholly owned flows 50% combined and street hired the other 50%.

ROFLMAO!

So let's get this straight...Dic Wilson has said that currently we are "overstaffed," (and this is clearly shown by our hard lines not even meeting guarantee) but yet we are metering the 824 because of "future staffing projections" he says. But yet you would have us believe that the company is going to send 30 protected pilots a month, instead of the minimum 25? That's a load of horse manure right there.

The ironic thing is that sending MORE flows from envoy right now would help decrease upgrade time and help with recruiting, but all management can see are numbers on their all-important spreadsheet.

Exactly. They are getting ready to spend millions of dollars more to retain and attract pilots but by simply not sending 5 additional pilots in March to meet the 50% of the class benchmark ,has done more damage to their recruiting than their low pay does. If they had started sending "extra" flows last year, creating real movement while we were "overstaffed", the 2.5 year upgrade would be more realistic to prospective pilots and they would be filling classes. If Wilson really wants the FLOW to be an incentive to new hires, it has to be at least 50% but the more the better.

They will have to exceed expectations with the flow. The classis Eagle style of making big promises and not following through isn't going to cut it during the current regional pilot staffing crisis. People have plenty of other options to pursue. If they would have flowed 50 a month last year, we would be flying 85 hrs lines, the upgrade would be down to the 2013 hires, and they would be filling their new hire classes with pilots that have confidence in the promise of flow.

The longer they wait to "exceed expectations" that less of an affect that such actions will have on recruitment. It may have already been too late. Imagine what their staffing would be today if Parker had come in and made improvements at Eagle in 2012 or at the very least accepted our bankruptcy contract. The pennies he saved back then is going to cost him dollars going forward.

Correct, IF they withhold


“Protected Pilots” Hired By Envoy On or Before October 11, 2011 
The provisions of Letters 12-02, 12-03 and 12-04 (“Protected Pilots”) shall remain in full force and effect and will be enhanced by the language below: 
Upon delivery of the 40th EMB-175 as set forth in Appendix D, and assuming there are still pilots who were added to the Envoy master seniority list on or before October 11, 2011 who have not yet been offered a flow through opportunity, 50% of all AA new hire training slots, no fewer than 25 per month (subject to the 50%), shall go to such Envoy pilots, until the point in time when the next pilot on the Envoy master seniority list to be offered a flow through opportunity was hired after October 11, 2011.

Pilots Hired By Envoy After October 11, 2011 
At the point in time when the first pilot hired after October 11, 2011 is offered a flow through opportunity, if AA is hiring pilots, 35% of all AA new hire training slots, no fewer than 15 per month (subject to the 35%), shall go to Envoy pilots.

Pilots Hired After DOS 
At the point in time when the first pilot hired after DOS is offered a flow through opportunity, if AA is hiring pilots, the lesser of (a) 25% of all AA new hire training slots in that calendar year, or (b) five new hire training slots (increased by one for every 125 pilots above the base number of 480 on the Envoy master seniority list) times (“x”) the number of calendar months in that calendar year in which AA actually hired pilots, shall go to Envoy pilots.

Looks like two E-145s coming back from xjt in May. It's not much, but it's another move in the right direction.

Good for Envoy and the possibility of more upgrades and flying. Bad for the flow. Once Envoy reaches correct staffing, which should be close to when the last of the 824 leave, you will likely see the flow re-negotiated to just a handful per month.....reduced to 0 due to operational necessity months. Yes, your union will roll over for Uncle Dougie.....again.

Get those apps out. Maybe JetBlue, Spirit and Virgin are lateral moves to you guys, but it's got to be better than being an Envoy slave for years to come.

Lol...renegotiate the flow? Are you even aware of the Protected Pilot agreement?

You clearly don't know anything about envoy, just another troll.

Immediate response from the Envoy Patrol. On guard constantly protecting their carrier that does so much for them.

Re-negotiated. Yes. I'm aware of the PP agreement. What's going to happen though is the staffing will reach critical late this year. Envoy will keep on flowing though. Right? Wrong!

They'll violate your agreement so quick in the name of "operational necessity." They've never violated your contract so far, right? Think your union will help? Think again. They're a toothless tiger. In fact, I fully expect them to HELP the company reach a re-negotiated agreement for greatly reducing the flow.

Park planes to keep the flow going. Yeah, right. Add up the numbers yourself. You need new hires to keep this train rolling and management is already desperate for them...in an overstaffed situation.

Hey, man. Don't worry about us. Just worry about yourself and say whatever you have to to justify your move to allegiant.

I don't even think he was ever at envoy. At least eaglefly went to AA via the flow.

Probably some other regional FO trying to get people below him.

Buzzlightyear 03-18-2016 04:28 PM

Envoy is no longer overstaffed. Zero time and part time lines are gone, critical coverage was declared all month for DFW FO's, TDY's in effect in April, CDO's are back, line values are back above guarantee and RSV numbers are dwindling.

Your speculations while remotely possible are derived from your wild imagination. Try to make your theories factually based. Also, please refrain from comparing working at envoy to slavery. That is an insult and an extreme over exaggeration. Get back over to your Alligiant thread and quit wasting our time.

Shhh...come on man. Yoy know that facts are not allowed to this threads???

Also Ord is short on CAs. It will be an interesting year.

You two just admitted what I've been saying in these last two posts. Seems that it's happening faster than predicted. Even you admit that my prediction is possible.

I think I'll just stay here and "keep wasting everybody's time." At least a few here seem to be getting a grasp on reality.

Buzzlightyear 03-18-2016 07:00 PM

Passing on relevant info, something this thread is lacking.

Danodano 03-20-2016 04:55 PM

Anyone know the 175 training schedule? How long? What? Etc...

Same as any other plane.

1 week Basic Indoc
2 weeks CBT
2 weeks systems
10 sims I think. Not sure because is AQP, so there's a Maneuvers Validations and Loft (which is your checkride).
IOE

It should be about 2 months total. Pay is 64hrs at your rate + 16hr per Diem per day. Roughly about $2500 per month.

I too sat at home on RAP and didn't get called yesterday. The difference is 6 months ago I routinely had over 25 below me on days like yesterday. Now I have 2 below me. Things have changed and for the most part we are no longer overstaffed.

So by all means, let's get rid of the 190 fleet and shrink mainline so we can rely more on the regional feed disaster. GREAT idea.

Actually his plan is to replace the E190 fleet with more Airbus 319/320 Aircraft. So... No not really relying more on regionals.

AA will be down 40 something hulls this year. I don't have the fleet plan for subsequent years in front of me, but for now, there is shrinkage.

eaglefly 03-20-2016 07:28 PM

Latest reports from Envoy pilots are that F/O's with 4.5-5 years cannot hold a line and are on reserve. Charlie Bucket still seems to have a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong road ahead to chocolate covered glory. :cool:

Doesn't that say to you that there is still some serious overstaffing going on?

What hasn't been reported is reserve on the CRJ. It's only 8-9 months. And the E-175 now going to new hires is projected to be shorter than that.

Which makes withholding flows all the more ominous regarding the future as Envoy shrinks clogging upgrades and further gluing up the flow.

Not being able to have a line and choosing reserve are two different things.

Even worse since pilots can't transfer between planes meaning senior pilots will be trapped in reserve when more junior hold hard schedules.

What a mess. :cool:

But again, since F/O's cannot transfer between planes, the seniority system is worthless there.

Nothing enticing about a broken seniority system for any pilot, new or not. Sounds like a very helpless feeling to me.

Jeez man, get a life. 90% of your posts are for a company you have no attachment to whatsoever. Whether or not envoy lives up to the hopes and expectations that it's current pilots have for it, shouldn't matter to you. You clearly have all this time on you hands to post on APC, so why is it all spent on the envoy thread? Serious question.

Well isn't that just fantastic. What about the 100 Plus FOs that are Dallas based, been here for 3+years, some almost 5, and can't hold a line???

Serious answer : Your point here is irrelevant to the discussion.

We are all here for entertainment and none of us holds dominion on why others post wherever. Probably a good idea for you to accept that and move on. Some come here for dubious purposes to take advantage of others and some come here for the opposite. That's life.

Every one of them had the opportunity to displace over to the 175 back in October. If they wanted to fly the new jet, they could have. There is another 45 pilots being sent from ORD to DFW on the 145. If they are RSV for April, chances are it won't be for long.

Noooo only 45 spots are open to be filled. I don't think there are 45 pilots that will bid DFE since the TDY went so junior. I hope I'm wrong.

I find it interesting that you constantly complain about personal attacks and yet you consistently accuse people on here as being dubious, lying, predators preying on the new pilots, ect.....

I also find it interesting that you can look into your crystal ball and know what DP and new hires will do.

My purpose on coming here is to get information for myself. When I see lies of misinformation I respond to it with the most accurate information available to me. If it is anything positive in nature (look through my post history, I've posted both positive and negative things about envoy) I'm accused of being a "cheerleader" or to you, a "jackal." That's my reasoning for posting on here. What's yours?

Well there you have it! Eagleflight is here for entertainment, not information. Which is a definition of a T R O L L.

Oh, I have no doubt you do. :cool: I highlight the inconsistencies and they don't refute with defendable facts, but highlight ME. I find it interesting how several of the same people repeatedly invent themselves with new identities and then sound identical in their sales pitch. I find it interesting how you guys complain about me and wish you didn't have to read my posts, yet refuse to put me ignore. I find it interesting how this small group demand censorship rights to those they dislike. I find it interesting any thread on Envoy is eventually hijacked by someone in the group for sales purposes which of course, I respond to.

Yes, we do live in interesting times.

I find it interesting you see my posts as definitive as I have never claimed any certainties other then the folly and unlikeliness of the certainties by the sales team. I find it interesting you find the motives and methods of your chums UNintetesting.

Actually, that isn't all that interesting, it's predictable.

Once again, misapplying that term to what YOU want it to be.

We are ALL here for entertainment (only some cannot admit it:rolleyes:) and there's nothing wrong about that. This isn't an employment forum, but many do come here for information. That being the case, don't you think accuracy in that dept. is important ?

Is the info being given out by a small number of "pilots" at Envoy accurate or inflated and assumption, but packaged as fact ? Is it understandable some will dispute that which appears obvious that way ? Why is it so difficult to stay true and honest when seeking to lure pilots to Envoy ? Why despite the rosiest claims here have significant numbers of pilots still not quit their present regionals and succumb to the poaching efforts of Envoy and a small number of their pilots here ?

Life is filled with many questions, but far fewer answers and since I ask a lot of questions here (that never seem to be answered), I guess I'm here for information too and not just entertainment. ;)
