As successful as last year was for Envoy, 2017 is expected to be even better.
In 2016, Envoy increased its first-year pay and bonuses to offer industry-leading pay for pilots, launched an innovative Rotor Transition Program for military helicopter pilots wanting to become airline pilots, embarked on a fleet renewal program with the record-breaking introduction of the Embraer 175, and hired 379 new Envoy pilots.
Starting this year strong, Envoy celebrates the reopening of its crew base in New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA) on Jan. 9. Envoy currently provides ground handling service for American and American Eagle in New York, so the introduction of a crew base and flight operations means even more opportunities for all work groups and an expansion of jobs in the area.
In other base news, Envoy will also open its newest maintenance base in Little Rock, Arkansas (LIT) this March. The base will support both Embraer 175 and 145 regional jets and is hiring more than 60 mechanics for overnight maintenance operations. A strong maintenance network is key to a smooth operation, and all Envoy employees enjoy monthly payouts for meeting key operating metrics.
New aircraft, bases and reliable service lead to opportunity, and Envoy plans to hire at least 750 pilots in 2017 to staff our growing fleet – with immediate opportunities posted now for 100 First Officers to upgrade to Captain. With its industry-leading flow-through agreement with American Airlines, Envoy expects that at least 330 pilots will automatically flow to continue their career at American Airlines by the end of 2017.
As a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines Group and still the largest provider of regional feed to American, the future is extremely bright for Envoy.
