Let’s face it. Is this really going to affect anyone?
Best case (yes best case) flow scenario is 4.5 to 5 years for the group hired in 2016 going off the union interactive list.
Worse case getting 1000 hours and upgrading to CA in three years and holding the base you were FO in, best case 18months ish.
I’m not sure why some people think this is an issue at all? Perhaps down the road if uograde times stagnate to what they were previously then maybe, but can anyone see the regional going any other way than instant upgrades?

Most the military helo guys I know are looking to get their hours quick and upgrade. If they are on orders its not because they want to be. Sooner you get the hours the sooner you move on and dont have to wait for the flow.

From what I have heard from helo pilots, they are taking large pay cuts to work at Envoy. After they hit the line they are having to take ML to supplement there income. Yet another argument to turn bonuses to rates. We could have increased staffing and they could be building hours towards Captain

Ah, thanks. Was using Quicktrade. It was defaulting to ATTOT and I've never had to change that setting before on the pickup window so wasn't thinking about it. RF requests sent now.

Cool, I did the same thing about a year ago until I realized I wasn’t selecting the rf request at on the top line in QuickTrade.
