I live through many years at Eagle and can say that the things there are never worse than now than from anytime my entire life time. You have been washed in the brain and in addition are completely drunk on cool aid the company has served you. The Envoy of today is no where near a paradise. It is regional airline that is of similar size to psa, or compass or mesa. And unfortunate for you, those companies have better lifestyle and work rules than envoy does today.
Envoy working conditions are similar in style to a gulag in soviet union or cuba. Having many junior mans each month and year is no way a good quality of life. Only haveing two days off between a 4 day trip is very bad quality of life. Management who issue missed assignment for refusing junior man or even calling fatigue is similar to this dictatorship I mention above.
You have to start somewhere and work somewhere so envoy will have people there. But my friend, you should checkin to rehab clinic for detox for the company cool aid.
Hmmm.... I don't disagree that certain aspects of Envoy have deteriorated. Schedules, MA for fatigue calls, JMs and base closings have been tough to deal with. But, to say that Envoy is worse then ever before seems to be a gross overstatement. Furloughs, 10 year upgrade, flow backs, flow through violations, prop planes, reduced rest, LOW FO pay. Anyone who got hired here 2015-2016 hit the airline jackpot in terms of pay, flow time, equipment and upgrade time. Not sure how you can argue you guys have it better then these guys. Maybe the early 90s guys but even y'all had to deal with the whipsawwing and mergers of AE.
