Envoy has been pretty stable for the past 4-5 years or so. That's a great thing. I'm also 99% sure they won't be closing DFW as a base. That's great for me. We're also getting 2 new planes a month, doubling the 175 fleet, that's huge. You know, actually taking delivery of them.
YX is a great company now, everyone I know there is happy (apart from the people who are waiting for a class date for 8 months). But to say you can "never" have same QOL at a WO as you can at YX/OO, is not accurate. And that was the post I originally responded to, before everyone else jumped on it and completely lost the original point.
So you got lucky and got a 175 slot in new hire class so your QOL is good. How would your QOL be if you didn’t get lucky with your class drop and got the 145 or CRJ. (Since, you know, your initial equipment is all luck at Envoy). I’m sure all your coworkers love hearing you talk about your QOL while they got unlucky with their class drop and are stuck on a dying fleet (CRJ 700) or got the 145, which is overstaffed into long reserve times. QOL is about consistency, not luck. At Envoy it’s all luck, it can be either good or unbelievably horrible. At OO and Republic, the QOL is consistent pretty much across the board and there are no surprises on day one of class.
