Hi all, my question is if Envoy is a good move in you guys opinions. I'm currently flying the 777 at Southern/Atlas, they can't get their negations worked out and it may be years. Currently upgrade is 9 years to the left seat of the triple. I'd like to make a little more money, gain more turbine PIC, and be based at home eventually(DFW). I flew the E175 at Mesa prior to Southern and would not go back. On paper it looks like Envoy may be the best option if I'm looking for PIC time immediately, and would like to be eventually based at home. Anyone know any direct entry captains who recently joined Envoy, or new hire FO's?
Total Time:2700
E175:500
B777:500
Age:23

I turned down an interview with Southern for the B777. With the crappy pay and nine years to upgrade, it seemed like a miserable tenure to be had by all, not to mention the Atlas factor.
What others have said about being forced to LGA Capt on reserve for the foreseeable future is what I'm hearing too.
