Well, when you get a bit more industry experience and start listening to people outside the Envoy management bubble, you may just realize how wrong you typically are.

In this case, he doesn’t even need the 500 hours to go to ACMI. He can go as soon as he has his ATP. Southern is hiring right into the 737.... 500 hours of 121 gets him the 777 instead of the 737 at Southern.... and by the time he accumulates 500 of 121, the LCC minimums will have dropped yet again. Then, if he networks his tail off he can do like a recent Mesa pilot and go from restricted 1000 Hr ATP at a regional to 1550TT straight to a legacy.
But you keep on digesting the garbage your Envoy masters are feeding you.


That might not be a bad idea. At Southern he’d be home based in DFW and they’ll get a contract sooner rather then later. After that the line to get in will drastically increase.

Oh, and Atlas accepts ATP mins also. Both are AAWW
