Reminder to the f ignorant and stupid: Yes, Envoy is a regional.
Reminder #2- Regional QOL and pay is not the same as mainline/major QOL.

cycle continues until death
Todays regional is jet cockpit Day-1. Years ago, regional new hires flew Jetstreams, Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirantes, Metroliners, or Beech 1900's. Steam gauge cockpits and typically never got above FL 180. Forget long domestic or international trips as a regional pilot. A "long trip" was DFW-MAF in the Saab or DFW-LRD in the ATR.
today, a new regional hire is logging "jet time" (SIC, yes...) from Day-1.
but, Envoy sucks
Well sure, and 100 years ago people got sick and died from simple injuries, doesn't mean we dont want to continually improve upon modern medicine.
Just because things are better now doesn't equate to people wanting improvement being wrong or asking to much. By your logic, things should never change so long as they are better then the worst it had been.
However, all that said, I agree, we are in a pretty great spot as regionals go. Envoy isn't the best in terms of pay, but they are not the worst either. Overall I feel they are a good company in my limited experience. Do I think for a minute they are perfect, hell no.
