A positive space commute, at least to work. And if you get displaced to a different domicile then the company has to get you home as well.

Maybe similar thing to at least double the number of hotels for guys who are displaced while on reserve.

I’m not familiar with the transportation situation in NY. But I would imagine having a hotel vs a crash pad would ease some additional burden there as well.

I agree. They sit airport standby and get no flying.

This ^^^^^

Guys who made decisions to get back into the industry and or change segments out of corporate or 135 and which carrier to choose did so based on a given set of information.

Just like in the lift equation, when one thing changes something else has to as well for things to balance out.

Most new hires need to stop b!tch!ng so much. Yes QOL is down, but it has been way worse. You all came in with big sign on bonuses, fast movement and instant upgrades to CA pay scales.

You all know or should of known how the aviation industry works.....it changes on a dime, sometimes for good sometimes for bad. Most pilots have to sit reserve once, most pilots will have to commute once, most pilots will be displaced at least once in their airline career. Deal with it or get out.

Most of You have it better now then most of your CAs did a few years back. Stop b!tch!ng, and follow the contract, don't pick up open time, don't go above and beyond and keep emailing your union reps to help change the things that need to be changed.

I thought you guys were against "negotiating in public" but I've been seeing a lot of it on here.

Suddenly just because Endeavor gives pay raises, everybody here thinks they are immediately entitles as well. You have to remember the value of what we do have that Endeavor does not. Flow.

Agree with your first point. Talk in a group text or via PM or to the union.

The second point....try harder next time. Very unoriginal.

More proof you are in bed with the company. Only someone like that would say that flow is a bargaining chip and we don’t deserve raises. Get back under your rock.

Lol. I'm not one of those pilots that think what I say on here has any impact on negotiations. Also, we have pushed for higher wages, better schedule, and better working environment BEFORE Endeavor got their increase. Endeavor passing their TA gives us perceived hope/momentum in finally getting a more decent wage.

Endeavor guy here..been lurkin on this thread for a bit to get an idea of why morale would be low at a place with a flow. Also considering Endeavor and Envoy are arguably the top two regionals, albeit for obviously different reasons. First let me say that I hope our TA brings continued momentum to the pilot groups of all regionals who have busted their asses through some seriously tough times and are due what they're worth. That being said, as an outsider, the "flow" just seems to be smoke and mirrors that management plays with the pilot group to justify treating their employees like crap. From the guys I know that work there, QOL, work rules, schedules, and pay are far below what they should be, but its justified because of the "flow".

Do y'all have something written into your contract stating that the flow can't be discontinued, metered, or reversed, due to "company need"or some other lawyer speak line of BS? Who's to say the flow doesn't go away at the next economic downturn? If thats the case, the flow seems practically worthless. Ok, maybe not worthless, but close enough. What are the current flow numbers for a new hire? 10 years or something? Take a beating for 10 years but its okay because there is a flow?

It would seem as an outsider that the flow is only keeping the koolaid drinking portion of the pilot group happy, where as the guys that can do basic math could see that 2+2 doesn't really add up?

Not trolling here, genuinely curious.

People flowing today are about 12 years seniority. Lots of BS from recruiters and salesmen in the past selling a 5 or 6 year flow. All that matters is what is happening currently and that's a 12 year flow.
