I've been wondering about the same thing. This deal does NOT get rid of the 4/12 caps. On year 2, FOs will reach year 4 pay, the cap, so they stay on that pay step until they upgrade, I think...? FOs do get 10K bonus for 2 years after one year of service.

I am sure that the 40 per month flow will be capped at some point, but it looks like they are trying to make good on the 2.5-5 promise of Charlie Bucket.
That was a small snippet of his post. Why don't you address the rest of the post. You are on the same page as management, "well hell, QOL sucks bad here, but let's give them 2500.00 and they'll love us". They keep trying to throw money our way, and it doesn't work. We want the QOL issues addressed more then we want the small pay increases.

Reserve life at envoy sucks. Hard line-holder at envoy also sucks. Mostly non-commutable 4-day trips with 11 days off a month. No duty or trip rigs.

Horrible quality of life at envoy right now. I'd seek elsewhere.
Latest flow plan shows Oct '10 FO completing Captain upgrade by end of Nov '16, 6 yr upgrade is right around the corner.

Hahaha, I only know MY lines so no, most lines do NOT have 11 days off, most lines have 14-15. I'm not on RSV but I bet it does suck, unlike other regionals? The flow is at 16 years and will stay there until next year, then it will go down to 12-13 years. I'm done spoon-feeding for today.

You're at Envoy?
Curious how you manage 14-15 days off/month. I'm not calling you a liar or insult I'm honestly just wondering. From a lot of what I hear it isn't uncommon for a 4 day trip to credit 16-17 or worse with no trip or duty rig.
Wouldn't that put you around 70 hrs of credit for the month?

Go here for the financial workup. It is a little surprising.

Good information thanks for taking the time.
Though I think it's a little misleading to guesstimate the change in Envoy upgrade time without doing so for the others..many of which have upgrade times on the verge of dropping. But I understand you're at Envoy so you have more insight there than you would at other regionals.
Overall good info though

Trip trading, that's my main tool + I'm lazy and live a frugal life I guess, the extra paycheck I get every 3 months definitely helps, and the 5K I'll get in January will help too.

We might not like it, but this is what the industry is morphing into.
I don't think it's so much of an issue of not prioritizing, but more of a lack of understanding the importance. Without having experience at a 121 previously, they might not understand the importance of protections to their QOL for example cancellation pay, trip/duty rig, vacation, etc.
Pay is (somewhat) easier to quantify.

72//153 ORD E145 have 14 or more days off
67/154 DFW E145 have 14 or more days off.

The average build out seems to target lines in the 18 hour range with some 4 days pushing 27 hours mixed in with random garbage in the 14 hour or less range with a lost weekend being thrown in to annoy you. I don't have the numbers for what it takes this month to hold 14 or more days off but the last time I checked for ORD E145 earlier in the summer it was less than a year. Around 80 lines within that bid pack credit over 80 hours. Obviously not all of those lines have greater than 14 days off though.

Not getting fired for one year would be the easiest way to manage 14-15 days off in a month. How does that compare to your shop?
