I don't think they did. I believe I heard somewhere that the first TSA E-145 it could be back to Envoy by December.

Incorrect, 627 was flown in to SBY directly from C check completion.

All of the 145's will be delivered the same way.

Yes. Although it has been said that there is a "Return Period" contract between PDT and ENY nobody thinks it is something the company would ever enforce unless it would benefit them somehow.

It's probably just a contingency in case one of the carriers was spun off.

We are just over 400 and I think it's 450 that the Flow Grows. All I can say is they are some lucky bastards getting hired now considering when I got hired I sat Reserve for 2 years as an FO and it took me 5 years to upgrade. Timing is everything.

You're not kidding, took me 3 years on RSV and 7 to upgrade. Things are changing fast here.
I think the # is 475 to trigger 4 a month and we have around 430-450 on the list now.

LOL, true I forgot that they're were a bunch of you 6-7 year FO's. Glad you guys stuck it out not like many that took off to Republic and AWAC. Bet all those folks regret those moves. Cheers!!!

Am I missing something here

475 divided by 4 = 118.75 months divided by 12 = 9.8 years for a new hire to flow.

Not being funny or a smart aleck, I come from the rotorcraft world and was considering Piedmont - this doesn't seem very fast to me.

What am I missing here ?

Considering in a little over a year we'll be at 9/month... That's pretty quick especially with guys flowing at about number 80 on the seniority list.

The flow GROWS as we grow. No limit to how high. Goal has always been 3 airlines at similar sizes, similar contracts.
