You'll be senior enough to hold a 145 CA slot in LGA or maybe ORD, depending on the flavor of the month.
So if you are at 500, make the move sooner rather than later (preferably not before we get the pay raise though), you will have a chance at 175 as a FO and will build some seniority to maybe have a shot at a 175 CA seat. As of this bid, the 175 CA plug award has been on the property just over a year, and, frankly, will most likely end up displaced over to the 145 next bid, when a good chunk of people who are half a year senior to him start upgrading.
I thought there was a quick upgrade program if you came to Envoy essentially captain qualified. I also read somewhere on the Envoy site that a 170/190 type was valuable coming into the company.
