I am a 2013 hire and on reserve. Let me tell you it is a living hell. If I had chosen PSA instead, I would have been in the left seat for a long time now. The only people flowing here are 1999 hires. The most junior captain on property today is a 2007 hire.

Do yourself a favor and ignore these paid company interns on here that talk about what a magnificent utopia Envoy is. Seriously, do you think a regular line pilot would gush with adoration over the company and state that they would step in front of a bullet for Envoy management?

I'd say this is spot on! I was a 2006 hire! Stay far far away from promises of flow!

From the mill this week sounds like MGMT is planning on numbers similar to these in 2016:
200 upgrades
300 flows
400 New Hires.

I concur. People are flowing now. As somebody above said, 1999 hires. At some point it will meter down and maybe even stop for a bit depending on total pilots required. Flow is largely hot air from management.

Without pulling the list and counting, maybe 800-1000 total FO's.

How many new hires total in 2015? I've heard around 175 total. Do they really expect to get 400 or is this just management posturing?

New Envoy Information
 
Word is that the vast majority of hires are coming from the pipeline programs, so interviews are not necessarily an indicator of how many are getting on. I've never heard how many have signed on to the pipeline program. Again, we don't need 1:1 replacement. We're fat on pilots and they want to lose a bunch of us. We're fat on captains, we don't need 1:1 upgrades to flows, and ENY enjoys running captains into the ground during normal ops with extensions and JM's so we can expect the minimum number of upgrades to get by.

These guys aren't going to start upgrading any significant numbers until they absolutely have to, and in envoy parlance that means they'll be cancelling flights due to lack of captains before they upgrade. If it isn't obvious by now, it should be plain that this company hates paying for our "too senior" seniority list, especially the captains.

It's for before or after your trip
Anytime you misconnect and get stuck in base
Before or after blocks of reserve days
Before or after Critical Coverage Open Time
And up to 4 commuter hotels per month

The end result is unless you are doing airport standby you typically do not need a Crashpad. Even if you did have to buy a few hotels a month yourself it's still cheaper than a Crashpad.

Add $2,500 to your salary in savings and much less stress


Given this, if a new hire was commuting, how many hotels do you think would need to be purchased each month?

As a new hire you're going to be on reserve. Likely pulling airport standby. Get a crashpad. As you move up the list you will get a mixed bag of trips and you may be able to maneuver into more commutable trips. By then you'll be able to gauge whether you can use hotels or stay with a crashpad. All of this is also dependent on where you commute from and the frequency of flights that will get you to and from work.
