After reading all 282 pages today I have a few questions I hope some of the more senior pilots can answer.
Quick back ground, 3 years of 135, still under contract till Nov but will have 3500TT when complete. 2300 of is PIC turboprop time. Looking to move towards RDU and commute to LGA. (19 Round trips a day which 10+ are on Envoy aircraft)figured I had a pretty good chance of getting up there.
1. Since the 824 group is all in the pool now does any one have a hard number on the flow through time wise? Reading the notes on the meeting on the 28 it sounds like Envoy is going to pull back on letting pilots move on to AA.
2. Captain upgrades? I read about the good an the bad an it seem they are having a hard time staffing captians due to QOL issues. If your a year 2 FO an upgrade do you move down to a year 1 CA pay or remain at you year in service at year 2?
3.Insurance for a family, what the cost montly for me an my wife? Looking for a monthly cost and is it worth it?
4. Family flight benfits, how good is it and does it cover across the board with any AAG flight(PDT,PSA etc) or only on Envoy/AA?

Travel benifits are again the best in the business short of mainline.

As far as travel benefits go, you have priority on American before any other regional is that correct? That is pretty awesome. Basically, Delta and United group all "their" regionals as one priority level. Envoy doesn't feed for United or Delta though so their priority would go below say Skywest or even Mesa or Go Jet. I believe since Skywest does feed for American, they would have higher priority on American over someone who doesn't feed for American like say Endeavor. Does this sound right? Are there any other improvemenst over other regionals? Most half way descent regionals give you benefits on airlines across the globe. I'm just trying to understand why Envoy has such great travel benefits outside American mainline. Thanks.

Regarding insurance, which regionals are you comparing this to?
