envoy pilots can still apply, job hunt, interview at any Legacy or Major Airline, along with all the other regional pilots who have no other choice. I talked with very few envoy pilots who are just waiting for the flow. Outside the 824, almost all of them are searching elsewhere. Even those in the 824 are going to Delta and United.
Come to envoy and there is a slight chance the flow may not work, go to RAH, Gojets, or SkyWest and I can 100% guarantee you won't flow.
I agree you have better flow odds at Envoy. If you don't mind sticking around for more than a decade, sure, you have a chance.
