Does anyone know the particulars of the flow through agreement? I read the language of it and I didn't see anything on whether or not you are required to upgrade to captain before flowing?... This would make a difference for me, and I assume many people, in choosing envoy because many of us put QOL before money. If I could be a senior FO flying turns until I get called (whether it be via flow or the app I will no doubt submit for a chance to be an off the street new hire) I think I could be ok with that.

I am a college student and am sitting on the sidelines, so to speak, with a little more than a year left of college and a CPL, watching the transformation of the industry right now and wondering if it may actually be a good idea to still consider the airline pilot career with all the projected retirements. I go to TCU (for those of you in the DFW area) and am faced with choosing a good paying job as soon as I graduate, or going to US aviation academy to finish my instructor ratings and getting a return on the 50k I spent getting the ratings I already have. Granted, I know I will not see the same income I could have by taking a job right after I graduate for awhile, but I think I may have weathered the storm and me be getting in at the perfect time if it's a couple of years from now? Any thoughts on that?

Is the industry really that bad guys? I've been scared away. I have read so many negative comments and articles it is so disheartening. I don't understand how everyone is still so toxic when everything points to the next 15 years being the best the industry has ever seen in terms of career potential. At least from all the research I've done. I know the last 15 years have been the worst, but it isn't too far fetched to think based on the facts that the old timers who got ****** by management, 911, '08 etc... to maybe tell the new generation of wannabe aviators that "ya know, it was terrible the last 15 years, but numbers don't lie, and the numbers point towards the next 15 years being some of the best the industry has ever seen!" Thoughts?!....
