Now take the worst case scenario and the flow stops. I would much rather be making 20k more a year as a regional pilot. Had the pay rates been what they are now I would never have come to Envoy.
Hence why I tell people that they really need to look hard at other places as Envoy is only the “right” choice for a smaller and smaller group.
As long as everyone is well informed and don't come based solely on the recruiting propaganda, nothing wrong with Envoy. Just like you say, it's a good deal for some.
Would I commute for an extra $20k/year? Not in a million years. Would I commute to Envoy? Heck no.
We all have our priorities.
