Some people will never be happy and you strike me as that. Me? I'm very content with where I am at in life. I'm in my early 30's getting paid 6 figures to do what I love and have a great career outlook. Is my job or company perfect? ABSOLUTELY NOT! But I'm happy and I hope one day you will be too.
Dude, no need to get all butt hurt about this guy. You Envoy guys are always happy over there right? Yep. Got it. Get treated really well, pay never messed up, great schedules with 17 days off each month, high credit lines, multiple bases to choose from. Plus that awesome flow that gets you to AA in less than 6 years right? Yeah, sure. Got it.
I'm younger than you and just happen to work at DFW as well. I was a Captain here right at the 2 year mark. How long does it take you Envoy guys to upgrade? Like 8 years right. Yeah, thought so. Got it. So, I'm a Captain after two years, building 121 PIC, got my app out with all the majors. I'll get a call way before you guys sitting around on your duffs waiting for that flow. Mesa isn't great but it sure isn't any worse than Envoy. I hold commutable lines with 15 days off every month. Do you have that at Envoy? Yep, thought so. Got it. I know, you have to commute in the night before and commute out the day after for your 14 hour 4 day trip. My 4 day trips are around 20.
So I will likely make it to a major years before you while you are sitting there waiting on your flow. Maybe you'll get tired of it and get desperate and do everything you can to get on with my major. Then you'll be pulling my gear. What would you think about that? Yep, thought so.
I'm way content here. And I don't work at your lousy outfit. Like I said, regionals are all bad. It's just Envoy is in the same boat with Mesa and is likely worse. Your guys schedules suck, your pay sucks, your management treats you like indentured servants. What else did I miss? Lots. Anyway, I just turned 30 and am sitting in the Captain's seat and building that PIC. Maybe you'll flow when you hit 40. Yep, thought so. Got it.
