Go somewhere with a flow. No matter what people say...having that guarantee in your back pocket is invaluable. Just read the thread about “lifers” at the regionals. Don’t be that person.

You guys just keep taking it and beg for more just to keep the flow train rolling.
We have a spot here at Envoy if you ever want to make it to a mainline legacy carrier. It may take 9 years to get there but that’s better than 30 years at skypest. Not saying Envoys great, it sucks, but at the end of the day it’s a means to an end. Enjoy your pay. Congrats on living the regional lifer dream.

And these scare tactics right here are why Envoy can get away with not rasing pay or improving QOL. Latching yourself on to flow is like being an AA indentured servant...

Do you have a flow to Delta, United, FedEx, UPS, Southwest, Alaska, Spirit, JetBlue, and Frontier? How on earth do I get hired there??? I guess every pilot should go to an AA WO for flow so they can wait 9 years to get to AA since that’s their only hope of ever getting out of the regionals. I can tell you this, I fly with numerous captains who are headed to those airlines and they have been here less than 9 years.

Have you run over a small child while drunk or something that’s preventing you being picked up by anyone else?

Tell that to the Chicago crew that was fired recently for a very simple error that anyone could have made.

If I could do it again, I would not come to Envoy. If you have your degree, and a clean training record, there is no reason to come here. You will be entering a pilot group that is loathed by its management, earning significantly less than your industry peers, and have contract which has many parts from an era where cell phones didn’t exist. Sure we have lots of 175’s coming, but you still have the chance of the 145. I will say what others will say, go to a company where you can live in base. The flow is a nice back pocket item, but it is not worth putting up with this place for 8 years.

Anyone who still comes to Envoy after the whole firing debacle is a f*cking idiot

Where would you go if you had to do it again currently? Why?

I’d go to Republic or Endeavor. Upgrade in relatively the same time and have a much better contract. The Envoy contract is severely lacking and everyone knows it, but there is zero incentive for the company to fix it because we keep the classes coming. ALPA has zero leverage and the company doesn’t even want to work with us on reserve improvements without us giving concessions to even talk to them.
