Growth isn't bad if it's being done with large numbers of new hires. Which is what is happening. Growth would be bad if it was happening with little to no new hires.
But currently Envoy is flowing and growing...which is great at both ends of the seniority list. That is only possible because of the large number of new hires we are seeing. I hate dropping too much information in such a short period of time...but let's just say that Pedro has a plan to get Envoy back to American Eagle levels of staffing and flying. The goal is a net growth of 20 pilots per month for all of 2017...that includes flowing 30/per month. So a year from now we should be at around 3,000 pilots.
Also, I've referenced it in the past and yesterday the Union did as well in their email...but expect to see another base announcement soon. It will be satellite to start, but should transition to a full base by end of 2017. Again, all this without sacrificing the flow even an inch. Only possible because we will be running classes of 50/per month.
Edit: Also I wanted to stress something for current Envoy pilots. If you live in the Miami area and/or would like to ever be based in Miami... DO NOT upgrade on the CRJ or E175 on this or the next bid. I mean...do what you feel is best for you. I'm just making a suggestion. Remember that any upgrade has a seat lock...and the CRJ and E175 won't be leaving DFW/ORD anytime soon.

. I'm hearing is down to 85 hulls flown by Republic for AAG. Republic's growth next year is coming from United, not AA.

3,000 pilots is roughly 300 airplanes or half of the AA feed.

That's Pedro's goal...and it's all I know about it. Anymore details you'll have to ask him directly. Or someone close to him like Nieder or Wilson.

During BK that numbers has decreased to 84, 82 E75 and 2 E70.
The 80 seats E75 did have first class as far as I can re,ember and will be reconfigured in order to allow RAH to merge Republic and Shuttle into a single certificate. I believe there is Mainline partner with CBA language that prevented this, by American reconfiguring the birds they call operate under a single roof now.

While I am glad they finally opened their immensely deep pockets to get enough new hires to flow 30, the agreement said they were supposed to try for 50%, and only meter if operationally required. Pushing for big growth isn't an operational requirement. With AA supposedly set to hire 800-1000 next year, 330 is woefully short, at the expense of all of us.

I'm scheduled for an interview soon. If everything goes ok and receive the pre-offer. How long does it take to receive the final offer? Is it ok to call the recruiter to inquiry about job offer while you wait for the Captain's Review Board?
