It's my understanding that Envoy management is representing a "stable" fleet that they don't expect to shrink, at least in the near future, so there does appear to be some creative representation in that respect as upgrades there will most likely remain tepid because it's unlikely Envoy will be able to bring enough pilots in over the next year or two to remain its current size.
That's the management strategy. (Actually every airline) Tell the prospective pilots ONLY what they want to hear. All other details are up to them to figure out after they have been on reserve for a month.
