Envoy Pipeline
I'm a low time (750) instructor and got a job offer from Envoy through their "Pipeline" program. I'm not sure wether to take it as they require a 2 year commitment from class date. The benefit would be full travel benefits immediately. I'm conflicted, as on one hand I would have a guaranteed job immediately. On the other hand, how do they rate relative to other regionals. What do you recommend? Wait until I have my hours and apply elsewhere, or take their offer?
Thanks for your input.

PM a guy named RJ Pilot. He was a former Eagle pilot who got fired and is now a "GV Captain" flying into closed airports (read living in his mom's basement). He is a very trustworthy character and you should take his advice to heart.
If travel benefits are important to you, it could be worth it. You are not that far from RATP limits and once you reach those, you are set for any regional of choice. The pipeline program forces you to go to Envoy. Would you have much time to travel as an instructor? I know when I was an instructor I neve would have been able to.

Boink will get you into the training department so you can support his daughter. only way to get technically fired is if the police escort you in handcuffs, but then the company will just place you on leave of absence until you a released from jail and yes you will have to repeat long term training.

Definitely wait. You'll pretty much have a guaranteed job at any regional when you meet the mins. Dont settle for one that is drastically shrinking and offers little career progression compared to others (Compass, TSA, PSA, Mesa) just because they offer you a job now. I know a guy who fell for it, left before he was supposed to start class and now has to pay back the $5000 signing bonus. If I were you Id build up the hours then apply everywhere and choose which airline works best for you.
