My experience at Envoy so far has been pretty good. Most of the new hires I talk to are quite happy as well... Reserve is reserve but is pretty good if you live in base (like I do). Commuters seem to have gotten a relieve since you now get hotels and stuff. Pretty cool thing about reserve is you can proffer for open trips, airport standbys, and for RAPs (Reserve Availability Periods- which dictates when you're going to be called, etc.). It's a job, it's not perfect, but it's far from what some people want to make it seem like. Even if you get the 145, it's still a great plane to fly, especially for people coming from an instructing background like I did.
