It's not the hours at Envoy.
New hire IOE is scheduled at 2 trips. How many hours that is depends on what trips you get and what's available on check airmen schedules. Anywhere from 25 to 45 hours (25 and 45 are super rare, because it means you either got a lousy 4-day and a lousy 3-day, or 2 mega-productive 4-days). Your line check is the last flight of the second trip. No marks if you go over 30, but they will look at the notes if you need more than 2 trips. The guys (there are only a handful) who were released didn't show any improvement after 3 trips. And there are a bunch who got their line check at around 40 hours because they just got scheduled that way.
