Oh you sad little man. There is no desperation here. None at all actually. Unlike other carriers, envoy is actually selective.

As for worst legacy airline? Even though you're a self-proclaimed finance wizard I'm going to throw some rough numbers at you. 2nd year group 2 pay in the 130's making 76 hours/month = 120k/year. Obviously this doesn't include anything you pick up over the 76, whether it be line value or OT. Add on 16% direct contribution to your 401k. That's 140k/year for second year pay. Plus any profit sharing. Yeah, it's really terrible over there. In fact, I just ran into a friend who flowed last year and he is happy as a clam on the 73. Living in base helps but that's besides the point.

Not that I give a damn about Skywest, but heard from multiple sources that it's tough (not impossible) to get on with United due to them not wanting to poach their own feed. Whether it's true or not, I couldn't really care. It was just interesting to hear. Good luck to you Sir.
