From BK Envoy has an LOA to implement PBS or owe the company 8.6 million per year in concessions. This LOA is suspended until the company places 41 E75 on property and from that point the matter must be resolved in 120 days. You would be asking management to go from PBS or 8.6 million in conncesions to implanting a system that benefits the pilot. Not saying it can't happen, but you get the point.

Agreed. If Envoy had SAP, I'd be going there. As it stands, I'd rather forego the $$ and go to skywest or republic ahead of Envoy and the brutally bad schedules. You're locked in the same plane for 4 or 5 years (upgrade time), too, from what I understand. I live near ORD, but for some reason, I don't like the 145. I have something against lawn darts, I guess. CRJ is going away, so 145 is only game in town in ORD.

They will be split between ORD and PHX (and a few in LAX too?). Many if not all the ones going to PHX will be replacing the -200s

I would go to skywest if ord is your wish.

I have used PBS in the past, it sucks, and I was senior. The union always makes it seem like it'll be OK if they run it, well that's a joke, because without any work rules it doesn't matter who runs it, and we have none.

I got the 175 in the most recent class at age 31. There were still 2 or 3 175 options remaining after my choice.
To whoever had 0.0 flight time in the last 24 months, I'd suggest getting your IPC signed off on. Also some sim time to practice more of the stuff you'll be doing in the simulator (holds, approaches, MAP's, STAR's, SID's etc). Make sure you're detailed in your log book concerning exactly what you practiced.
Apparently they don't always catch lack of recent flight time until the review board gets ahold of your file. Good luck. It is possible.

Can lineholders drop trips to get below minimum monthly guarantee? So they could drop to like 65 hour line and get the extra 3 or 4 days off per month? Is it actually doable, or are there never reserves available to let you drop?
