Yup definitely not growing, just shuffling resources around and reducing the flying to match staffing proportionally in order to eliminate the 300% premium as much as possible.

Make a quick stop at a LCC/ULLC first.
That being said, in two years, (or less) this hiring wave will be subsiding. I don’t think it will be an issue, especially for those just now getting hired at the regional level. Moving to a LCC/ULLC ASAP as opposed to staying at a regional will probably be more advantageous move anyway.

I've been hired by Endeavor with a June class start date. However, I'm not sure that I'll actually be based in Atlanta even though I live there. Which was why I was asking about Envoy. I'm also firing off applications to the LCC, so we'll see what happens. Figured if there was a delay with Endeavor or something Envoy would be a good second choice given the family I have in Chicago that I could stay with.

Overall, the vacancy indicates where the company THINKS they need people, nothing else. All flying is at the whim of AAG and can change from what was projected. There is certainly no additional flying, as it can’t be staffed. It’s only a shift of where AAG wants flights from and even then, with current through flying, other than origination and termination of a usually four day sequence, it may not be from the original base anyway.
No new planes until late in the year (only 3 new 175s) and one additional 170 already on property that should be on line during summer.
Any physical movement of planes from one base to the other is pretty transparent. The only thing one really sees is the number of lines in a given base.
There are no displacements OFF of any aircraft. There are likely to be some displacements from FO to CA, but that is not specifically related to which airframe, it will solely be based on who has the lowest seniority with eligible hours when the bid is run.
Without an actual displacement, upgrades could come from either plane and any base. Overall management of what is actually reduced won’t be known until the bid is run either as the company can choose to backfill vacancies or not as they happen during the bid.

That said, yes, FOs can hold even the senior bases at EDV in less than a year. EDV is bleeding pilots and they aren't even going to Delta. So if you want to be based at ATL, go to EDV and even if you have to make it through one of the other bases for a month or two, it will work out if you plan to live in Atlanta.
