I have a number of friends who have been hired this year at Envoy. Can’t speak about ExpressJets. Look past Mesa.
At Envoy, seniority and base assignment are assigned with the oldest in class picking equipment (most ask for the 175) and base first then picks go down to the youngest last. Expect reserve for X months at DFW as an FO. Ground training is done there, sims are in St Louis.
Decline the bonus (multiyear commitment) get your experience, and move on guilt free. PM me and I can hook you up with the current FOs for answering more questions.
I’m at a different regional with request for a DEN domicile.
