Did you ever find out why Envoy said NO? Check ride failures? Skeletons in the closet? Lack of experience in the past year?[/QUOTE]

No failures or busted rides. Currently in non flying job but obtained currency, IPC and glass cockpit experience to show proficiency.

I reached out to the head honcho to inquire and ask for advice in order to be more competitive/marketable in the future. No response.

I am going to Mesa, as I said family is first for me. Several of the negatives there will hopefully not be a factor for me because of the support I have at home. Also, as it was pointed out, everyone is hiring so if it doesn't work out I can keep applying and my resume will have a bit more to display, an ATP, a type and previous 121 time.

I know what everyone says about Mesa, I am positive person-I can handle it. My wife cannot handle me living in PHL or being home for 30 hours every 4 days.

Thanks to everyone, I guess I will go join the Mesa forum now, lol
