Some people got into this career just for the paycheck, because it's "better than X job I had before", or some other reason than actually having a passion for it, and they end up miserable, *****ing and complaining about everything. They are compelled to make everyone else miserable. It's a consistant template.

This type of behavior is certainly not unique to Envoy. We joke that airlines hire until they furlough but there is a strong element of truth to the aphorism. It would be nice if hiring departments would at least abstain from this behavior within the traditional two weeks notice window. Many a pilot has found herself without a chair when the music stops due to having a class cancelled at the last minute and being unable to return to his prior job. I hope that isn't the case for this poster.

The United and Delta pilots remain adamant that they will continue hiring full bore next year. I have reasons to doubt that but if true it stands to reason that American will hire as well. Big 3 hiring, in that case, should create enough attrition at Envoy to necessitate classes. I would expect preference to be given to cadets regardless if it's legally required or not since not doing so would diminish the value of the program.

They should have used the twins from The Shining. That would have been at least funny.

Is anyone hearing anything from recruiting on this, outside of what was sent over by the VP of flight ops?

Seems like they aren't communicating much with all of the pilots they gave CJOs to.

This is the most recent email from class prep team to a fellow pilot with CJO:

At this time we don’t have a definite time frame to give anyone. We will send you an email and a phone call when we are ready to schedule you for basic INDOC class. So sorry for the inconvenience.

Do we know what's happening with Envoy's current hiring?

Had a friend go through recurrent last week and they were saying get comfortable wherever you are at and they they are only working on qualified upgrades for now. Also I think hiring picks up people will be hesitant to leave envoy and go on the bottom of another airlines seniority list so even if hiring picks up it may not be at the rate we would like it to.

There's no more off the street hiring until next year, supposedly.

Where did you hear that? I applied for FO directly about 3 months ago and have an interview this week.

Interesting indeed. Did you get your ticket and hotel booking? Please keep us updated, will you?
