I applied elsewhere and added an app to Envoy when I heard the news of the ramp up in 175s. Got interview requests from two carriers within 12 and 24 hours respectively. Envoy responded within 12 hours but with a TBNT. Interviewed with the first two carriers and explained what happened. They both understood and gave me CJOs. Starting class with my first choice next week.
If Envoy is hiring they are being selective and not hiring anyone with a recent 121 failure. Stupid, IMO, since I could pass 175 training with my eyes closed at this point but hey...the company wants what it wants.
They are hiring, but very very few people. It's not about passing training. Our interview group (of 4) had a military pilot, really sharp guy. He got a no thanks after the interview.
They said they interview only a few FO candidates a week. Most resumes get the automatic "However, the interview selection process is highly competitive, and we are unable to offer you an interview at this time"
