But you did turn it into an Envoy smear thread by giving an incomplete history in an attempt to make Skywest look better.

You have oversimplified a very complex situation that occurred with several different management teams over a bankruptcy and a merger and one that has changed significantly since your timeline ended. You are also completely ignoring market forces and a clear AA staffing model.

If your going to look at Envoy. Look back at 1997. Sign this 16 year contract or no jets and no flow through!!! That was drama!!

I would use caution with anything these "new players" with only a handful of posts have to say in this thread. Strange how everyone shows up when a pay package needs to be moved on?

invalidpairing is not wrong though. The way AA and flowthroughs with Eagle (Envoy) has had a rocky relationship. Sure, now is probably a good time to go and hopefully for the foreseeable future, but the fact that Envoy and the others were whollyowned was a reason I didn't apply to those places. I came from Comair, where "being owned by Delta means everything." It's exactly why I chose Skywest back in 2011 when I found out I needed to start over. But 2011 was a different time. Now, if I was looking at regionals, I'd probably seriously consider one of the AA WO.

Agreed completely. They are many positives and be just as many negatives... And that goes for contract carriers as well.

This happens evertime. The reason they sapa mentions social media in the lates email Q&A...

Nope, not what I said. lighten up taco bowl.

This 00 aside. For you new ERJ FO's out there sitting in a reserve bucket of +20 over min in ORD. I have had success convincing Crew Support to do the reasonable thing and allow me to sit reserve out of domicile since in my case it proved beneficial to them. Come armed with the numbers if they are in your favor. This has allowed me to fly my arse off so far in June. I got launched off of reserve a few times (because they actually need reserves here) and I have picked up trips on most of my days off. So if your goal is to fly as much as possible, just asking has proven beneficial for me for the month of June. The worst they can do is say no. Hopefully the heard in ORD gets thinned out soon with new bases opening.

"If being stuck at the bottom of a pile not flying AND making minimum wage is the way it is around here, I'll take my type rating and split thank you. There is plenty of airlines out there that will love me for me! "

Those were your word as you told us all you just got off IOE and you were so upset you're on reserve. Then proceed to say you wanted a grind to fly but picked a senior jet...........

Horizon is hiring. Why didn't you apply? They have better pay. We're all waiting to hear it. Also, what state has $36.50 minimum wage?

BTW, if you're buying tacos I like chicken. I'm free in Chicago for this month if you wanna hang? You should have time. PM me.

I was talking to a few deprived newhire 175 FO's in the ORD crew room. Poor fellas finished IOE a month ago and are already headed home to the West coast. One guy was bragging about calling in sick 5 times already.

For a 5 day reserve block he meant?
