Cujo made some great points too. I've done a fair amount of research but I'm having a hard time.
Envoy said to expect an upgrade within 6 months. I'm worried about a bunch of FO's who are senior to me upgrading after I do and then I'm perpetually stuck at the the bottom of the reserve list. I do want to enjoy some quality of life.
Compass doesn't have this problem. I'll upgrade in seniority order, from what I understand. Will they be around in 2 years though? That's anyone's guess. People seem much happier there.
I feel like I'm choosing quality of life over possible longevity.
You're going to have an absolute **** experience at envoy commuting to reserve (the worst reserve rules in the industry) for years.
With that much experience, I would look elsewhere, possibly even outside the regionals.
