Something to keep in mind if deciding between Skywest and envoy is relative seniority and how quickly you will move up and out. It's no secret that Skywest has been approaching 100/month in hiring while envoy is only about 20ish. Envoy is about 60% the size of Skywest yet is only getting 20% of the amount of new-hires that Skywest is. Both seem to be roughly equal in attrition. What all this means is if things stay the same (huge if) then you would move up the list quicker at envoy. Now I'm not talking about which company will give you better qol or treat you better, I'm talking strictly numbers.

Remember, what's good today isn't what's necessarily good tomorrow. Take a look at PSA, PDT, Republic, and really any regional airline out there. To say Skywest is the place to go is a very broad statement, especially when every month they've hired and you're still building time, 100 new pilots come in ahead of you.
