It sounds like you’re neither a cadet or have any prior 121 experience so most likely you’ll get the 145 if you come to envoy. You’ll be sent to Chicago for a few months and eventually when you get to Dallas you’re still looking at a total of one year on reserve. Average line here is 13 days off with about 72 hrs credit. OT here is very competitive and is usually only for those who are senior. Bottom line is you won’t find anything here you wouldn’t in Mesa except Mesa has the opportunity to make more money and fly more.
Actually if you read his other posts and profile, he is military fixed wing rated and 121. Maybe even former Eagle as he has 145 and ATR in his profile. But that makes his situation worse as he will be immediately forced to ORD as a 145 captain. Likely able to get 175, maybe even DFW, but unless he REALLY wants to be in DFW ONLY while in training, there is no upside at Envoy.
