With two days off, if you finish late on day four and can't commute home, you're stuck until the next day so you'll have ONE day off at home before you have to come back. It is MISERABLE and there is no end in sight. They always say the schedules will get better in 2-3 months and they NEVER do. Lies lies lies...

Schedules and QOL are everything in the airline life. Come for the bonuses if you like but know that ENVOY is a horrible place to work. The atmosphere is very anti-pilot. Crew scheduling are extremely adversarial and combative. They live to make your schedules (your life) a living hell. 100% of swaps, drops and PVDs are denied without given a thought. If you need a day off for a very important reason, tough schitt.

Stay away from this schitthole. Thank god I flow outta here soon. It's miserable.
Sounds like you will probably be miserable at AA as well.
