Envoy has seen some incredible improvements recently for their pilot group. New hires are now able to bid for the E-175 aircraft based in DFW on their first day of training. In addition to the new fleet of aircraft, Envoy will be receiving 5 more E-145/E140 this summer. All 35 CRJ-700s will also remain in the fleet until at least next year, another welcomed piece of good news for our pilots. With the new E-175 deliveries, Envoy will operate a total of 150 aircraft by June of this year, up from 137 aircraft in January.
The company is currently sending all pilots a new iPad Air 2 Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) as part of the new company-sponsored EFB program. New hires are also now given the EFB on the first day of training in addition to up to $15,000 as a sign on bonus.
Effective this year, employees will receive a payout based on the newly established profit sharing program. American Airlines Group (AAG) will set aside five percent of every pre-tax dollar earned into a profit sharing pool to be shared among all participants (including pilots). With record-breaking profits being made by AAG, the profit sharing program is designed to reward the employees who contribute to AAG's success.
