...and this is a special paragraph to highlight the biggest detriment to working at RJET: There is NO OUTSTATION BASING at Envoy.
Plan on being an FO for a while at either place. There are a LOT of lifers at RJET, so trying to time an upgrade might be pretty hard...you might as well have a decent quality of life at Envoy as opposed to being treated like a baby treats a diaper at RJET.
Also second year pay at envoy is almost the same as top pay for RAH after 7years.
Next year we should get a pay raise (I expect around 3%), per diem increase to $1.90 and will continue for $0.05 every year). Also we have an amendment round in 2016, so I expect also more improvements.
Future is uncertain, but still a better contract than RAH.
