Getting paid to fly a jet with scheduled days off sounds like a dream to me. I know regionals are a hustle but seems you have to go into it expecting that and enjoying it for what it is. Again, admittedly niave as I've never been in those shoes... and understand there are more and less desirable regionals, so is Envoy really all that bad? I imagine there is plenty of flying to be done so quick upgrade at least?
You’ll get a some varied opinions, including some strong negative ones from a few who seem to really hate it here. For me at almost 5 years in I have no real complaints, but I’ve lived in base the whole time too and have yet to experience some of the horrendous things you hear here.
