Not sure this has been answered. No technical review for previous 121 candidates. Example, no testing your knowledge of Jepp charts. All focused on human resources questions. Examples = Tell me about yourself? If a drunk captain shows up for the flight, what do you do? etc, etc. The gouges that are available online will prepare you for that. Look for Envoy Air interview gouge. Download it and insert your response that best describes you. Study it. They stick to the gouge and you'll be ready to answer before he even finishes the question!

Any questions, PM me. Glad to help.

Where do you live?
Living in Dallas commuting to Lga for a line would be foolish in base reserve is a decent gig, especially if you have projects around the house.

I live in west Texas, so would be a short commute to Dfw still for me

You were probably a Dec hire. Guys that are thinking about starting now will get done closer when the deliveries end. You can expect longer reserves as well as a lot of junior pilots above you on the 175. With the two year projected upgrades and more flying, the 145 will see better movement.

This is my train of thought as well. We're getting close to the point to where we won't be hiring into the 175 to staff new airplanes. Soon we're going to be hiring into it only to replace FOs that are upgrading. The big movement on the 175 is going to be slowing and I think you'll find the rsv list stagnating. I've heard that new hires going into the 175 will stop, or at the very least decrease dramatically by the summer.

Having a line is better than sitting reserve, it's almost night and day. However I wouldn't commute for that unless for a upgrade or the city was no more than an hour flying away.

A request for all Envoy Pilots -

PLEASE PM ME WITH YOUR COMMENTS!*****

As you know the learning curve after training and IOE is steep. DECS, getting up to speed on ACARS, proffering, bidding, hotel reservations, programs, phone numbers, apps, etc, etc. While much of the information is documented somewhere it's not consolidated and handed down by pilots in the crew room. That's good, but sometimes not an option.

Please visit afterioe.com. It's just a 1st version and your constructive comments are welcomed! This site is intended to be a video-based educational resource outside of the aircraft, not a replacement for Envoy's FM-1, AOM's and other documents or for that matter another opinion-based site like APC.

To gain access, use the DFW crew room door code. All good ideas will be added and credited to the provider.

Also - I'm looking for a Check Airmen that would be willing to participate with email and as a subject matter expert.

Thank you!

Purpleanga -

Your info on Envoy reserve at DFW/175 is outdated. I'm a DFW guy and was awarded a line after 7 weeks. Reserve time seems to have leveled off at 1 to 2 months. Considerably longer on the 145 at DFW.

Any questions, PM me.

Yea for you now. New guys won't be getting online now.

As someone interested in Envoy, after having read through the thread, the "aircraft" seniority recently mentioned was a bit of a surprise.

I also see a lot of back and forth on here regarding the reality of how soon one can become a lineholder at Dallas. There have to be numbers somewhere that shows the amount of time on reserves prior to being assigned a line at each base for both FOs and CPTs? Right?

If I'm offered a job at Envoy, my decision to accept is based off of two things; can I get Dallas out the gate and how quickly can I hold line there.

The other locations are so unaffordable and undesirable that I'm not willing to take my family anywhere near them. And commuting, while good for some, isn't the way I'm going. I already live in the middle of nowhere (about to retire from the military) where commuting would be a (at best) 13 hour endeavor each way after car rides are thrown in. As such, I'd just move for the new job. Hence all this.

Can anyone provide those real number, that I know exist, on how long long it takes to hold a line at each of the bases?
