Envoy Air Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines Group announced today that it will nearly double the starting rate of pay for new hires, to nearly $38 per hour \u2013 effectively starting new hire pilots on Step 3 of the Envoy pilot pay scale. This means that Envoy First Officers can earn $58,000 or more in their first year on the job.<\/p>\n
The carrier will also increase the pay rates for existing First Officers during their first three years with the airline \u2013 and expand its existing First Officer Retention Bonus of $20,000 to apply to all new hires and existing First Officers who do not already participate in the program. New hire pilots who choose to fly Envoy\u2019s legacy fleet will now receive $20,000 at signing.<\/p>\n
\u201cEnvoy\u2019s new industry-leading starting pay \u2013 along with our up to $20,000 signing bonus, $20,000 First Officer retention bonus and guaranteed flow-through to American Airlines, without any further interview \u2013 means our pilots will be among the most highly compensated in the industry,\u201d said Ric Wilson, Vice President Flight Operations. \u201cNow, and throughout their flying career.\u201d<\/p>\n
Envoy introduced a $20,000 First Officer Retention bonus earlier this year for pilots already on payroll. Today\u2019s announcement expands that program to include any First Officers currently flying for Envoy who did not already qualify for the bonus \u2013 as well as all new hires. Under the expanded program, pilots will receive $2,500 quarterly, following completion of one year of service.<\/p>\n
Captains at Envoy, who are already well on their way to a guaranteed job at American Airlines, will also be eligible to receive a $7,500 retention bonus, payable in three $2,500 increments.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur ability to attract and retain the most talented pilots has been critical to our success,\u201d added Wilson. \u201cHiring more new pilots allows us to compete for additional flying. And it provides swifter career progression for our First Officers looking to upgrade to Captain, and our Captains who are in line to flow-through to the mainline.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to pay and bonuses, Envoy offers an unmatched total compensation package, including:<\/p>\n
