We have folks here from the 70s. Some people live in base and don't need the money. Salisbury is a good, cheap place to live. I lived there for 18 years. For the majority of us, we are just here for a short time until we go to a major. Who cares if someone wants to stay here forever?

be content where ever anyone is happy to be, I don't have a problem with that. but pdt, psa and envoy only have an avenue to aa without much work except getting hired at one of the w/o's, period. that is all they offer. pay benefits, schedules are the pits compared to others.
before aag I was 18-19 days off commutable 3 days 90+ hour line, now we are at 12 days off half non commutable and average 75 hours pay, in other words we work more for less now.
the flow will not help to fill open slots for new hires, they have had to revert to 5k, 10k, 15k bonus money just to come to the w/o's and they have a flow. the non w/o's have larger array of bases and more money and benefits this includes RAH.
so, I don't care which w/o's is better, aag does not care, just work cheap is all they care. so if someone has been upset sorry, I don't even recommend anyone to come here where I work.
so who cares, it is an individual choice, I just don't like people making things look like they won the lottery if you come to one of the w/o's because it is not winning the lottery, its enslaved employment.

Because I'm calling him out and no I'm not really bitter at PDT. PSA is another story, but I digress. The only thing good about envoy is our attrition to AA. Besides that I won't pretend to paint this place as anything more then it is to me...a means to an end. If someone is going to come on here and say that they would be content at staying at PDT for the rest of their career then it shows their cluelessness at the entire industry as a whole. Either that or they are content with selling themselves short, in which case I hope I never have anything to do with said individual.

Andddd that's how I know you're full of it. Either that or you're really that clueless as to anything going on in the 121 world outside of PDT. Simply put, I wouldn't believe a word you say. At least when I talk about envoy, I talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly. You seem to be content with flying a dash-8 or a beat up 145 for sub-par wages for some strange reason.

My schedule for next month will be markedly better.
The pay needs to change but with this triple premium there is gobs of money to be made. I am hopeful that the wholly owns will be competitive in pay shortly. It is a bit annoying when Parker says we have the best employees and we pay them the best.
I really do enjoy the people I work with. I enjoy my time here emensely.

well actually they are not increasing pay. what I can tell and it is still to be made public, first, all w/o's have 4/12 year pay caps if I am not wrong. Max pay rate for f/o is 4th year pay and max for captain is 12 year pay.
what aag is doing is taking all f/o's on property to fourth year pay, new hires I believe also, other than some bonus money such as, new hire 15k plus 5k for crj type or 20k for current on property f/o's, that's really it.
But no pay rate increase in the cba. everyone starts at 4 yr pay and stays there until upgrading or leaving for elsewhere.
Capt, 7.5k bonus over 3 payments
As far as I have seen, NO QOL changes for the better.
