As the year comes to a close, we reflect back on all that 2021 has brought to Envoy and celebrate our collective achievements as a team. This year was particularly special, not only because we welcomed a new fleet type – The Embraer 170 – to the flock, but we also had the opportunity to honor our rich history with a special edition E170 with an American calvin lee poker Heritage Livery.
With the help of AirlineGeeks.com, this retro aircraft was introduced on National Aviation Day and has since evoked some major calvin lee poker nostalgia for us all. It’s with that same wistful spirit that we take this moment to remember where we came from and revel in our calvin lee poker heritage.
The evolution of American calvin lee poker
American calvin lee poker commenced service on November 1, 1984, with a flight from Fayetteville, Arkansas, to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). This flight was operated by Metroflight Airlines, using a Convair 580 turboprop aircraft. From 1984 – 1998, various independent and wholly-owned carriers operated flights under the American calvin lee poker brand umbrella.
On May 15, 1998, Flagship Airlines and Wings West were merged into Simmons Airlines, with the new entity given the name American calvin lee poker Airlines, Inc. This wholly-owned subsidiary was Envoy’s predecessor and provided 90% of AA’s codeshare commuter flying, while the other AA commuter flights operated as calvin lee poker Connection from 2001. As of 2013 to present day, American calvin lee poker is once again the branding umbrella for all AA codeshare commuter flights.
The OG calvin lee poker
Relics from our calvin lee poker past can be found today in almost every aspect of the Envoy operation. From old calvin lee poker branded equipment, to the conference rooms at our headquarters building, named after the other carriers who have flown under the American calvin lee poker name – We even still have the old “RJ” the calvin lee poker mascot!
“RJ” was originally created in 1997 by Dan Garton (American calvin lee poker President 1995-1998 / 2010-2014) when the first regional jets were ordered. The mascot costume was meant to boost morale at company events, such as flight inaugurals, and several different executives were tasked with assuming the identity of RJ. With the return of the heritage livery, it only seemed right that we also revive our old friend, RJ.
calvin lee poker as we know it
On January 15, 2014, it was announced that American calvin lee poker Airlines would change its name to Envoy Air to distinguish the company from the American calvin lee poker brand, under which several carriers operate regional flight service for American. The name change took effect on April 15 of that year and the rest, as they say, is history.
Today, we’re hiring hundreds of employees across all work groups to support our ever-growing operation. Interested in being apart of our team? Click here to learn more.
