Envoys doesn't work that way. It will still go off age. Literally no point to join Envoys program as a 270 hour pilot. It's shiny jet syndrome to say you're "hired" as an airline pilot while you time build. I will reassure you that if you have a clean record, you'll get hired at whatever regional you want when you hit 1000 hours. Then when you hit 850/900 hours consider all your options. The Envoy program is still there. If you sign the dotted line with them now, you're locked.
So if I am 21, then sign this contract for the cadet program, and in the hiring class a 26 year old pilot who didn't do a cadet program has more seniority over me? If that's the case I don't see the point then..
