I'm late to this issue, and not an Envoy Employee...but what keeps most folks at Envoy after say 5-6 years? I know it's obviously "the flow"....but what makes a person think they "have to" wait for the flow? Most there seem motivated, well trained, skilled, etc. I can see the guy without a degree hanging on, or something that would keep them otherwise less competitive...but I wouldn't think that's most people.
I don’t have any factual statistics, but only a very few captains I flew with early on had active, recently updated apps anywhere. I think a number do not have bachelors degrees. I think a larger group of the newer, FOs that are older have degrees and also less time so are more motivated to move on. Conversely, I think a lot of these young cadets that don’t have a degree would rather spend four extra years at Envoy INSTEAD of college and see the flow as a means to an ends.
And yes, I know we do get some of the UND and ERAU grads that are cadets.
