I have heard rumors that Envoy is going to the Department of Correction facility to help recruit pilots that were non-violent offenders to help with keeping bodies in the cockpit.
it an exchange with the California DOC to help prison over crowding and in return Envoy will get some top quality candidates that will go through a 1 year program to get them their ratings and some hours offered by ATP flight school.
the ones with more of a “flight” risk with have additional constraints like day turns only and have to check back in at night. And an exemption from the FAA to remove the crash ax in the cockpit.
