No, that doesn't sound right. Probably somewhere between another 2 to 4 years depending on how the future unfolds.

He is a bit optimistic. He is in a good spot however. If we go to 5 a month in May and 6 a month by year end, as planned he would be end of '18 or early '19. I'm an '11 hire and looking at early to mid next year. He could slide up a couple months if we can manage to get to 7 per month, which is 850 pilots...you never know 😋

Default Crew bases and Seniority

What is the likely hood of a new hire junior fo getting KSBY as a crew Base? Are most new hires getting KPHY? What is the average seniority to get KSBY?
Thanks in advance for your response!

Hey guys, making this similar post as in Envoy's forum. Can anyone give me an idea of schedules over at KPHL? Are they all 4/3-4/4 or can one pick up 2-3day trips there? I was hoping for variety of trips so that I can be gone for less time at one given time. Deciding between Piedmont and Envoy and live 40 minutes away from KLGA and 1.5 hrs from KPHL. Both offers in hand.

Much Thanks!

Congratulations on both offers, and doing your homework before jumping head first into this career. I cannot speak for eagle, but pdt has lots of 2/3 trips in Philly and many commutable. Start mid day end before 9am last day. But, that drive would personally make me want to jump off the G Gangplank... so I would go to the New York base. Envoy does not have min day pay. A while ago, a friend was doing 9-11 hour paying 4 days. Maybe it's changed? Pdt is caught up w training. Expect less than 2 weeks off from ground to sim. Probably same on 145 at envoy. Pdt's schedules were/are rough but we will be taking 3 jets a month and only way to go is up. Envoy will shrink w airframes and pilots. Movement up the list will happen much quicker at Pdt.

Lots of commutable 4 days in PHL (late start early finish). Expect to only get 11 days off a month and work the first few days of every month for the foreseeable future.

I would take phl drive over the drive to lga. If your coming from north nj which i think you. It's ez to make phl. And traffic is less.. the flight from ewr can be reliable as well out the train..
