Agreed. This is the first early shots of the whipsaw war.

Step one, get all the pilots hating the other ones.

Not trying to go off topic here, but there is a big difference between being at the Majors and dealing base closure vs being at a Regional and dealing with base closure.

However, there is a long saying don’t ever relocate for a regional as well. Regionals are historically known to base open and closures vs the mainline carriers more frequently.

It’s funny because there are just as many on this forum that say “never commute to a regional.” I guess the secret is to go straight to mainline. Wish I’d thought of that!

Sorry to the guys that lost their base. It’s happened to us a ton at Envoy over my career.

Do tell. Who do you specifically know in recruiting that supposedly said this? I'm VERY familiar with the recruiting department at Envoy and me thinks you are just throwing out a line of BS and that you don't know a single recruiter.

I think most of us are smart enough to realize the opposite pilot group has absolutely ZERO to do with these decisions made... I don't speak for everyone, but I’m pretty confident the majority of us at Republic hold zero animosity towards Envoy pilots. We’re just pawns in the game they’re playing. Why waste energy hating someone that’s in the same boat as us??

Well said. I know guys at almost all of the regionals, consider most of them friends, and don't wish ill on any carrier (except NAI, good riddance). You're happy for them when they get a new contract, flying, planes, bases, etc. and you feel for them when the opposite happens, especially for those like my buddy who made the jump from TSA to ExpressJet. These feelings are magnified exponentially when the news hits home and we have to be mindful of where we direct our frustrations.

Same here at Envoy. Whatever frustrations get voiced are directed towards the managerial decisions, not the pilot group. Pilots are pilots, nothing against them.

Hear! Hear! In this particular instance, you do speak for me!

Your comment about the majors is flat out wrong as well. Show me where a major has closed bases on their pilots. I’m sure it’s happened but I can’t think of one.

Think twice before flying for Bedford. Instability in your base is the most stable thing they offer. Unless you live in Indy. Then you’re golden!
