If you aren't senior enough to get it right away, you do the week of indoc with the the rest of your class, then they send you home for 2 or 4 weeks with pay until a spot opens up on the status you want. From what I understand, the limited availability of sims on the 175 is the main reason they're only taking six or so for it every 2 weeks. Delay the start of 175 AQP rather than take a break in the middle while you wait for sims. Regardless, your DOH is the same as the rest of your class for seniority and longevity purposes and you don't get stuck on a type that is only in a base you may not want. Haven't heard anything outside of this thread regarding future classes getting this deal, but it wouldn't surprise me. Good tool for the recruiters to have to fill classes and keep new hires from jumping ship.

Now if they could just get on the ball with following the contract all day every day, a lot of their problems would sort themselves out. Anyway, I know I'm coming in to a company with its share of issues, but I've been through a bad airline once before. I can only speak for myself, but I believe Envoy to be a good opportunity for my career. It's nice to know that regardless of how long it takes to flow, my last interview is now behind me. No more playing the job hunt game with job fairs, interview prep, workshops, annual subscriptions to airlineapps, etc. all in the hope that maybe one day my name gets drawn out of the hat and I actually get an interview with a legacy carrier. Now I can just concentrate on flying for a living...
