Envoy is actually only hiring into ORD at the moment. Your options are the E145 or CRJ700. CRJ sounds like a lot of fun, good power/weight ratio etc. They're also offering an additional $5K for legacy airframes, i.e. the 2 options in Chicago, on top of the $15K sign on bonus. There are other threads on the pay raise as well, but it seems that they're desperate for people to take their Chicago base.
