I understand it though, younger college students probably feel extremely special getting the mail and calls from regional recruiting departments. It’s hard to blame the kids, or explain to them in any meaningful way that they’re not special.

Tough spot to be in as a pilot with Envoy. Hopefully something falls in yall’s favor sooner than later.
Maybe you have very little experience outside of aviation or perhaps you’re out of touch with the world these days. The kid should feel special for that. Most careers aren’t like that. It’s a good feeling to be, “wanted” for the career you’re still pumped and excited to be in. Most decent paying jobs post-college are extremely competitive. Extremely competitive. And it’s why many with 4 year degrees don’t do much and don’t have much to show for their degrees. Certainly not at a job that’s offering big bonuses and a livable wage.
