PSA and Piedmont even say they’ve got Envoy beat.

If flow is in your equation for prospective airlines, I believe Envoy is in the best position to keep a sustainable flow. Only thing is, management needs to make a firm commitment to the flow.

All these other airlines you need to ask yourself what does any company look like whose workforce turns over in 2-4 years? Especially an airline. What happens when your captains have less jet time than piston time? Do you suppose you are walking into your regional airline at the peak of your aviator abilities, or that you yet have a LOT to learn? Who do you want to leave from? captains who upgraded at 1,000 hrs, or captains who spent at least 2-3 years first learning from experienced captains? Yeah, it’s all about getting seniority at a legacy... but don’t get so excited to find the magic formula to beat the system.
