So the way it works is crew planning tries to figure out where we are going to need pilots three months from now. That's a safe timeline from start of Indoc to finishing IOE. That being said just because we need people in Miami or DFW doesn't necessarily mean it will be offered to new hires.

The best way to determine your odds of getting a base is look at the historical base offerings since September of 2016. That's when hiring has picked up to its current pace following the roll out of bonuses.

It's important to point out that Envoy has a permanent seat lock on equipment for FOs unless your base closes then you are able to be displaced to any equipment and base that has room. If you are single and don't mind permanently living out of a suitcase the 145 offers the most flexibility with its 4 current bases and the potential for more coming with our new LOA. Every three months a vacancy bid had been posted allowing pilots that were given LGA on day 1 of Indoc to transfer to DFW. As of late our schedules have been fluctuating a bit as block hours are being shifted around the system with LGA and now miami opening up.

Hopefully this helps. In short I believe every new hire class since January has had LGA spots available. If you are younger then 26 there is a chance you could end up on the CRJ in ORD only.
