They are going to struggle to meet their goals especially with GJ, PSA, and Mesa hiring for growth with new Ejets/900s. I think the last Compass flows go this year too.
Not trying to pee on your parade like I usually do lol....it just occurred to me that it was pretty ambitious. AAG won't be able to simply keep the planes at envoy either: We are bleeding too fast to even fly what we have and it is about to go through the roof.

I noticed which is also why I've been less aggressive

I'm getting my days off now because I think Junior Manning will be the phrase of the fall. We all hope they have this all planned out and aren't like kids cut loose in a candy shop.

What's going on at Envoy that's going to open the wound more?

Well it already happened - NYC closing. I bet close to 90% of the FOs there and a good 1/3rd of the CAs leave the company, most to Endeavor.

Also, the union met with AAG(Isom and Hashimoto) a few weeks back to discuss our bleeding. The management cronies agreed something needed to be done immediately, left, and we have heard nothing since. Pretty obvious envoy is a company set to lose 97 airplanes in the next few years and only gain 40. Even senior FOs I fly with are bailing now.

Wandered through the crew room in IAD on my way to work today, heard there are still no captain reserves to be had.

The reserve grid is Perpetually at zero, day of. There are a bunch of Captains on IOE but according to the company, a lot of the dulles flying is shifting to Den in May. So that should lighten the load.

With the way scheduling has been burning reserves that is no surprise. Gotta watch them some of these new schedulers are not the sharpest tool in the shed....
