Asking for and getting a starting pay like that at a regional are two different things. Probably wishful thinking but good for them for asking.There was a rumor on Reddit last month that Envoy was negotiating some ridiculous new pay (the poster said starting around 65k). Seemed like bs but I figured I'd ask anyway. Is there any new contract being negotiated?
Yea but right now they are starting at 19.x/hr so jumping to 32/hour seems like a stretch even if it isn't that much.With inflation, 65K to start is not very much. Consider that you can get 21/hr to start at Bucees working the midnight shift and 26/hr to work at a gift shop at DFW airport. A Bucees worker gets three weeks of vacation which is a lot more than what Envoy offers to new hires.
So much about this is wild.If you're willing to manage their car wash, you'll be making major pay. Maybe we all should be working for the Beaver overlord

When you consider the flight loads for the wholly owned regionals match or exceed those of Allegiant, Frontier, and HA…with similar numbers on their seniority lists…combined with the out of control pilot pay…I don’t think $65k starting in the DFW metroplex is out of the question.Yea but right now they are starting at 19.x/hr so jumping to 32/hour seems like a stretch even if it isn't that much.
Unfortunately, the regionals get treated like the "minor leagues". Part of the issue is no one stays around long enough to fight for higher pay and they also think "not my fight" while they are employed at the regional level waiting for the call up. The ones who stay behind are generally content to be senior and have a good schedule. I wish better for my regional brothers but this is the vicious cycle that has been happening for years and years. By far the most under paid job in our industry.Shame on Envoy (aka American Airlines) for paying its dispatchers and other workers in the DFW metroplex poverty like wages!!!! This is 2024, not 1965!! Something needs to be done regarding wages in the country!
Actually Envoy is not paid by American Airlines. Checks come from Envoy who sets the rates just like the pilotsShame on Envoy (aka American Airlines) for paying its dispatchers and other workers in the DFW metroplex poverty like wages!!!!

SHOTS FIRED!!!! YEEEEE-HAAWWW.....tell it Brother!! I reckon you aint got no photo-graphic-alized proof of said situation, do you?Nothing will ever change there...as long as they have scumbag management and a dirtbag union steward in bed with each other...nothing.
Management keeps coordinators short staffed so he can get his 1,000 hours of overtime every year...so he'll keep his mouth shut and play ball...quid pro quo...SHOTS FIRED!!!! YEEEEE-HAAWWW.....tell it Brother!! I reckon you aint got no photo-graphic-alized proof of said situation, do you?
I kneel before the Great Beaver!If you're willing to manage their car wash, you'll be making major pay. Maybe we all should be working for the Beaver overlord
