13 days off and you get this:
"YOUR REQUEST TO PICK UP FROM SEQ 0xxxx / xxJUN HAS BEEN DENIED.
F/O xxxxxx PROJECTION JUN 99.54 SKD PROJ JUN 99.54"
Drop a trip, pick up a nice critical 4-day if you want during the first 10 days and boom - 130 hours credit, 99 hours block, with 13 days off.
Getting 100 hours a month is not hard. It did take a few hours of optimizing to get it that close to 100.
That’s assuming you get the 175 in class, during a sweet spot in hiring, while the 175 fleet is expanding.
I had an absolute dream run on the 140/145 in NY at my time in Envoy. But classes literally a 2-3 months after were handed a bag of d***ks and were stuck for over 12 months on reserve, and some longer as they bid out to more senior bases.
Timing is everything. Envoy is great if you live in base and hit the timing right. It’s mostly luck and it’s a very small target to hit.
