Are all of the new hires going to the E140/E145 and CRJ-700?
E175 must be loaded up on pilots right?

I know new hires get base of choice...but can they pick airframe as well? I'm hoping by time I apply I can get DFW E140/E145.

Oh wow. So they assign bases and airframe now?
Can those say CRJ pilots get DFW E145? Is that part of the seniority and bidding program?

Why does Envoy attract more new hires than the other WO'ds if bonus and pay are comparable? Is it the bases, EJET, or something else?

Personally they attract me for its DFW base. E140/E145 and future E175s. The sign on bonus. I plan to go to Aerosim...so tuition reimbursement is great. Guarenteed flow with no additional interview.
Who else can offer these benefits?

But the company needs to balance the amount of pilots between bases. It wouldn't surprise me if they won't offer DFW for a couple of months until they have the people required to keep ORD working.

Do you have factual numbers to prove Envoy numbers are decreasing?????? Or is that you POV?

No shots, just that folks on here say anything often enough as if facts from union leaders & or Mgmt, or Envoy pilots, but are not. So then, new bloods like me find it hard to differentiate facts from BS..

Hope the purpose of the forum thread serves the demands/requests by the OP.

Hope this does not become another trashy thread with salty folks wishing Envoy fail, and falls, and becomes a disaster just so they can feel like they were right all along w/ "Ah-ha! Told you!"
