They don’t realize this whole thing has to be managed or those applicants will decide to go elsewhere or in many cases, they are still better off to stay where they are now as other companies have been increasing pay.

Also, with the 145 training program gone, all current pilots on the 145 have to transition to the 175. They just don’t have the capacity to hire new pilots and retrain current ones, which is making the situation worse.
QFT.

I'm thankful for all the feedback. So those of you with a lot more knowledge and experience than myself what would you do in my shoes? Applied to another airline and try and get scooped up or just wait this out?

TBH, I’d definitely be exploring other options. It honestly sounds like Envoy has put all non, DECs in a holding pattern with no EFC. If you really want that 121 time, look elsewhere. The clock is ticking. But ultimately comes down to what works for YOU.

Default PHX Base

Does anyone know if it looks like PHX will be a senior or junior base yet?

It’s going to be pretty small, especially initially, and no word when that will even be. Initial flying won’t even be based there, just through flying, likely from DFW.

Quite a few Left coast at Envoy so expect it to be senior.

Honestly, just pick a regional with a base where you live, or near you where you can drive to easily, or one you can easily commute to with one leg. Commuting sucks, and you can make more money living in or near base by picking up trips.

Several regionals are starting FO’s at $90/hr, so you’ll be making good money, finally. Choose one of those.

"Good money" should be a Legacy FO starting at $215 / hour. Especially since we have regional CA making that much now...

Getting $90 an hour is finally in the realm of REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE pay for an FO in this profession (any ATP turbojet position).

Let's all stop selling ourselves short!!!

Not selling anyone short, but even majors are not going to get starting pay to much over low $100s to start. That $215 an hour is the 20 year rate. Those at WOs who get it before then will see it VERY briefly before flow, or because qualified as an LCA.

Yes, it’s good to see wages finally come up, but if the majors don’t secure rates soon, that chance will slip away. As it is, all these rates are likely to be given back, at least partially, as the economy continues to implode.
