Let them scrutinize me all they want. Who cares? I have done this several times. I need a specific day off, I put in to swap that reserve day with every day off... multiple times... denied denied denied. I put in for a PVD... denied. Fine. I tried everything... Sick.

I wonder how much you're going to be complaining when you're getting paid 250k/year to work half the month crossing the pond? I'm not saying I disagree with your gripes, but this career is a marathon and not a sprint.

If you're that unhappy and unwilling to put up with the bs that we're all enduring, then go somewhere else. Or get involved to try and make changes. Crying like a baby on an internet forum makes you look like a weak person and hurts the great reputation that our pilot group has.

Have you had any luck getting out of this lousy outfit? I got lucky and escaped to a LCC. I agree with you on all points. Especially regarding the fantasy flow.

6-8 year upgrade? Wow, that means I will possibly have to commute to Ord for a decade possibly and flow in 10 years?

Upgrade just dropped to 6 years and by the time it gets to a new hire I would conservatively say 3 years. Flow is projected at 6, not 10. Envoy is a great place to start your career if you're young, are okay with DFW/ORD, and are looking to end up at legacy airline. Nothing is stopping you from applying to Delta, United, FedEx, UPS, Southwest, Alaska, etc; (which guys/girls are leaving for all the time from here) but if they don't call or you don't want to bust your ass and network for that interview, then there's always the flow waiting for you when your time comes.

Some of these guys have been guzzling kool aid for years and it's affected their capacity for rational thought. Heck, they are so head over heels in love with Envoy that they may pass on the flow when it's finally offered in 12 to 15 years.
