Envoy FO Training

I saw a Saab 2000 for the first time at dallas love last week. Anyone know who flies it? It looked awesome

Right up until the next fuel price spike.

Loathe though I am to admit it, I'm not sure what would be used to replace a CRJ-200 on many routes. If fuel spikes, well, meh. Maybe they'll recall the Brasilia from smuggling, excuse me, cargo duties at their new owners, but I doubt it. (Plus, some of them smell like @jhugz now)

-700/-900 and even 170/175 have much closer "mainline" equivalents.

I think things might go full circle on this, in the markets where the 200 is a big Brasilia the jet carriers will shrink, and PenAir and the like move in, while the 700, 900 and eventually 170/175 move into the markets not quite big enough now. Bigger turboprop airlines, and smaller jet regionals, squeezed by legacies retaking feed and the economic reality of 50 seat jets.

It's a good thing. Cities like Reno and Billings get 737 mainline service back, and cities like Redding or Hibbing get sustainable turboprop service. It's the seventies, sort of....

Absolutely. This will be my first airline interview so I'm a little nervous. I also would like to know how the news FO pick their pilot bases. Thanks for the information

FO's pick bases and equipment based on Age... the old foggeys pick first and it goes down to the youngins picking last. Go to aviationinterviews.com and study the gouge. If you havent allplied already, if you put my name down I'll split the recruitment bonus with you when you finish training! :-)

I'll just leave this right here:

Friend just started on Monday. 145 LGA. Hopes he can swing DFW by the end of training but looks like everyone is going into the 145 in LGA.

Had a buddy start a few weeks ago. Got 145 in ORD...was so happy he didn't get LGA lol
 
I just finished an interview this week and received a conditional offer of employment. The gouge is spot on for the HR portion and although I did not complete the tech portion of the interview I was told that is accurate as well.

From what they said, they're planning to hire a lot of FOs this year though they didn't provide a target number as far as I can remember.
