They actually created the pipeline program which helped solidify the flow and essentially one interview, one career at Envoy. It was a brilliant move in an environment where getting pilots was starting to get tough. Instead of going out and dragging dollar bills behind a pickup truck at FBOs hiring Billy Bob away from his cropduster or Virgil from flying that clapped out Baron for some wannabe oil prospector, they made one of the most genius moves in the industry. They partnered with the universities and worked in tandem with the program that essentially places the pipeline candidate in class on Day One more ready than just about anybody before in the history of Eagle/Envoy.

It's nice you've had a soft landing and are enjoying working at a sub par carrier, but let's face it, that's not for the vast majority. The smartest guys in the country have all found their way to a respective pipeline university and bought themselves an AA career.
