This website becomes more and more useless every day. Absolutely nothing but trolls and the same dozen people running their mouths like a broken record. Mods still nowhere to be found.

Well said. The only advantage for republic guys coming to PDT is our upgrade will drop below a year very soon as we try to double in size.

Did I say something wrong?

I'm not asking to be taken seriously or not seriously. You Envoy types do tell a great story but not one of you can articulate how Envoy is to survive if all the pilots flow out without the same number flowing in. Let's start with that ok? Enlighten us with the numbers.

No, not directed towards you just a general observation. Look around these threads, with minor exceptions this place has become a joke.

Key word here is "bonus". It's temporary and short sighted. Once the bonus time period is over you go right back down to normal poverty wages.

At that point it won't be our problem anymore we'll all be at a major.

28 new-hires last month alone to start. How about all the RAH pilots currently in ORD talking to envoy pilot recruitment?

After being forced into a flow-through program as the result of grievances, AAG has been using that as a recruitment tool. You seem to think that a scenario is going to present itself where AAG has to decide between allowing envoy to flow itself out of existence or breaking an agreement and putting the brakes on the flow. While the pool of new-hire pilots is dwindling, it is far from empty. I don't believe your doomsday scenario is likely. AAG is banking on a constant flow to keep their regional feed flying. Luckily they can hold PSA pilots pretty much indefinitely, while you use your magical 1000 TPIC and wait for that call from UAL and DAL. :roll eyes: I feel like I'm beating a dead horse with you.

This is simply fixed by changing you withholding status from 1 to 5 or 10. Your bonus is withheld at the higher amout but all of you other checks during the year come a little fatter. This avoids the big refund at the end of the year and gives you more cash during the entire year. Either way, your pay at Endeavor is equivalent to approx $ 47.20/hr including the bonus.

Your thinking belongs in the "past" The industry is in a much different place now than in the days of Comair. Delta has shown their willingness $$$$ to control their product at the regional level with Endeavor. They made a large investment in Endeavor and its paying off with a controlled attrition rate and a product that now for the first time is higher in quality. Its doubtful that Delta, now having control with its product, would simply give that up by not continuing their investment in compensation or otherwise. They know that if those bonuses go away and conditions deteriorate again, they will have the same problems as before-high attrition, cancellations, unreliability(what other regional airlines are experiencing today).
