Default Envoy Reserve Times

So far my friends that started at Envoy in early 18 are still on reserve. Does anyone know if there is a plan to bring it down? I think a year on reserve is a new hire FO seems excessive

It's only a few months on the 175 side.

What would the odds of a 38 year old getting the 175? If I understand right, it’s cadets, prior 121, then age....

100% off my class. And the class after that. 0% off class after that.

About as good as throwing darts at a dart board blindfolded, with someone thay keeps changing the size of the board and bullseye.

If you gotta fly the 175 it's probably best you work for Compass or Republic. There is a decent chance you could end up being thoroughly disappointed.

-Keep the dirty side down

I don’t care what I fly, just want to build 121 time. I think I’m down to Envoy and GoJet. I think I know the pros and cons of both, but the big question mark is reserve time oath envoy. That’s the one thing that makes me lean more toward GoJet

Go where you can drive to work.

But whatever you do, don't go to GoJet.

Can you expand on that? I live in Little Rock so I can’t drive to any regional. What I like about GoJet is no reserve, 26k bonus the first year, upgrade around 13 months after IOE, and very short reserve for CA’s.

Envoy would be my choice if I knew I wasn’t gonna sit reserve for 8-12 months.

Everyone thinks “I just need some 121 time.” Unless you are one of the small group that adds diversity to the hiring pool, there is so much more to the equation. You need to consider QOL along the way.
