Neither Envoy or XJT are going away. Upgrade is slow, that I agree with!
Sorry but PIC time is not worth what it used to be. Senior FO's are getting hired at all of the majors with little or no PIC time. Only Southwest requires PIC that I'm aware of.
Many in this career have chosen a crappy airline based on upgrade time only to be hosed by getting stuck there. Pick somewhere that you can be happy at if you have to spend many years there. Look at history. 9-11, Age 65, 2008 market crash. Many furloughed from growing carriers during each of these events. I can't imagine being stuck at a place like Mesa on FO pay and work rules. Go somewhere that will allow you to build time but a place that you can be happy if plans don't work out!
Again, I wish this person the best in their decision!!
