You won't put him on ignore because he posts facts and you are trying hard to ignore those facts instead buying into the moronic company drivel. I understand, you have many years invested there and you will likely flow over soon and be done with this dirtbag outfit. It's a few of the other usuals here that will be waving to you from the cockpit of their 175 for years to come.

 

In the interest of better accuracy, this must be corrected. It appears the flying allocation IS out for Envoy, but only for 1Q2016. Jan/Feb remains at previous low levels and thus lines will decrease, schedules will remain poor and reserves high. March is supposed to improve though. Since no full year projection was given unlike previous years, it appears either AAG isn't confident enough to place all its yearly chips with Envoy or they are planning contraction and may just not want to beat the bushes to startle the snakes. Most admit Envoy is overstaffed and will contract to a smaller carrier in the 1200-1600 pilot range, so these developments would support that.

 

I didn't think ANY flying was allocated for 2016. Where is that information usually found?

 

Union email yesterday

We just finished the line build for the January, and the challenges that we have faced throughout this year remain consistent: fewer block hours and the company’s headcount projection. Developing a good variety of lines from weak flight files remains the most significant issue. We are not presented with the planned hours... we only receive the flight file and projected hours. The January flight file hours were even lower than projected hours for the month. Both bases are down about 30 lines apiece from previous months. Over the course of the January build we were able to get the line count up and keep some lines with the four-on three-off. In the end, January will look very similar to the last few months.

We have received a projection of block hours for the first quarter of 2016 and while January and February remain depressed, March sees an uptick in hours to be flown. If that trend holds true it bodes well for our ability to make better schedules. We are awaiting receipt of the planned hours for the remainder of 2016.

Sounds good. No debate there. See? Wasn't that easy? Short, to the point, and factual. I knew you could do it. Good boy!

 

Same info as in post #511. Your criticism was of facts, not length. I have to admit though, you certainly have perfected the arts of both deflection and evasion.

Is that small paragraph too long for you or should I draw it in crayon as a follow-the-lines picture ?

 

I follow your teachings, O Great One.

 

I can give you an official number for 2016 upgrades on December 31, 2016.

 

Is cause of Republic, they are waiting to see what happens with Republic, that's probably one of the reasons they haven't told us much about next years flying. Republic is gonna shrink next year, how much is the question.
