So Envoy Dispatch is currently in contract negotiations and Little Napoleon and Envoy (mis)management thinks so much of their dispatchers that they offer a pay cut on the new proposal.
Envoy is also frustrated with the union's pushback on certain issues and they refuse to pay employees who are taking part in the negotiations. The Union in turn offered to cover the costs however the company declined.

This is who they are.
 
At least half of the last 50 hires at AA were Envoy. It's still true.

Asking for 65k starting salary, 9hr workdays, and shift start changes are another story.

It's still true, but will it be for much longer?
It's absolutely insane that crew scheduling starts higher than dispatchers when you can walk in off the street and get that job. There's no defending that. It's a disgrace.
 
Just go work for buc-ee’s then /s
(They pay more too)

Meanwhile PSA management reportedly told their dispatchers to not bother applying for AA, because staffing was so bad PSA would tell AA not to hire anyone.

Poor management resulting in staff discontent and manpower issues, and now rising fuel costs. I wonder how this cookie crumbles?

True. Envoy has the luxury of going to any major really. I even heard they had one go to Delta recently. Plenty of options if you can manage the regional pay/hours. Get your one year 121 experience and move on!
 
My mindset is to get on, get trained, stick around for a few and then look for an opportunity with a major. Is there opportunity to work extra shifts are is it limited to your base schedule? Really eager to get on this time and start working on kicking off my career. My family has roots in the industry so I'm trying to fulfill with my part.

I believe 65k is reasonable considering the current economy, and the high likelihood that hiring will cool for an extensive period of time. Regional dispatchers still have tremendous responsibility, giving them peanuts to put their license on the line has always been distasteful in my eyes. Good for the union for trying to push for positive change in the industry. Imagine if you had to support a family on envoy current pay, or at the very least take care of yourself. Dispatchers should not live paycheck to paycheck or on the border of financial collapse.
 
Now they are banning dispatchers from using their own keyboards and mice, claiming they are causing issues with the computers and something about malware. They are still letting crew scheduling and MOC use their own keyboards and mice. Just not dispatch.

They claim it was AA IT that is banning them, even though at the AA IOC there are a ton of dispatchers that use their own without issues.

They're not even trying to hide their utter contempt for the dispatchers and they think they can do whatever they want because they're the fastlane to AA.

Just curious, is there a reason people are using their own keyboards/mice, like they are falling apart or something? I only ask because I've worked at multiple airlines in my career (three regionals, one startup, and two majors) and I don't remember anyone ever using their own mouse or keyboard while working. I have brought in my own mouse pad/wrist pad before, but that's about it.

People use their own because envoy uses the cheapest little 10 dollar keyboards on the planet. They are downright horrible.

I always did it anywhere with a hot desk because I didn't want to share a keyboard with 4+ other people.
