Recently, I read that ENVOY are no longer putting new FO's @ DFW or in the 175, for now. Do you foresee these placements continuing into next year? I know things change based on demand, and beggars cannot be choosers. However, with my current family situation (2 kids, 4 & 6) I do not want spend months/years in ORD or LGA. I don't care about which aircraft I would be assigned, but I do care about how long it will take for me to get to DFW. I live in Houston, hence my desire for DFW.

I do not want to join MESA, but will "if" ENVOY are not assigning new hires to DFW mid 2018, only for the sake of QOL.

What do you guys think? I REALLY want to be apart of the ENVOY team, but I have to also make some more time for my children (by spending less time commuting), at least until they are a little older and understand a little better what I do. My daughter the other day broke out crying saying that I "never want to spend time with them because I always want to go to work." That broke me! I current fly a CE650, and spend most of my weekends on the road. At least once I am 121, I will have some sense of schedule, not so much flying 91.
