We've been sending guys in both classes, doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to how many go in the first and how many in the second. Lately it seems like most Envoy flows are in the first class.

Who are they going to hire from? If they hire from mesa, skywest, republic, etc, they wind up hurting their own regional feed. If the regional feed suffers, the mainline planes don't run at capacity.
The ulcc will start hiring 1500 hour pilots soon.
Once wall street pockets start to be affected in the next year things are going to get crazy.

Envoy has the ability to meter the flow (depending on agreement) for all pilots hired before 12/13/14. After they reach folks hired then, their flow is similar to the Piedmont flow (X pilots baseline for a pilot group Y size then and additional flow slot for every Z pilots added to the list)

Glad to hear their flow is increasing, certainly wasn't equal in ratio to our flow and Envoy's flow when compared to the size of the pilot groups. Sounds like a further increase is coming.
I wonder what this will mean for recruitment of new hires at PDT. Before I came here, the recruiters sold the flow HARD, and they were clear that our flow was better than PSA's or Envoy's. I personally know several people who literally came here just for the flow, some even commuting. A lot of those who interview here also interview at PSA. Now that PSA will have a more competitive flow rate, along with far superior QOL, nicer aircraft, and increased growth, it will be interesting to see if PDT can continue to attract new hires over the other WOs.

What’s the DOH for flow at PSA? Haven’t been to the E Con in a long time. QOL has increased a metric F ton on that reason alone.
