That does help the pay issue, but doesn’t help the ACTUAL lost seniority, nor the lost flight time of the transition to a new company. And I don’t know how quickly one can upgrade at SKW even with the time.
If I had to do it all over again, I absolutely would have chosen SkyWest, Mesa or even TSA over Envoy, because in the end, I ended up moving. Something I really hadn’t anticipated doing, but sometimes life changes as well. If I was still commuting would Envoy have been my number one, based on where I was living, again, still no.
Again, once an individual has more than a year or so, the opportunity cost for a lateral change is huge.
