I agree with HanSoolu. I left envoy for Allegiant 2 years ago and was told what an idiot I was for "walking away from the flow." Looks like I was correct. The flow is bogus and will never work as the envoy recruiters and salesmen claimed it would. I'm in the left seat of the Bus now. Worlds better than anything envoy has to offer.
If by "walked away" you mean fired, then yes you most certainly walked away, while crying if memory serves. I truly hope you enjoy your job at Allegiant, its likely as far as your career will every go in this industry. |

In my opinion, it is a disservice to the profession to make excuses for it's shortcomings. Instead of defending an inferior career, how about some unity toward making improvements? Good luck to you as you pursue your career. These are my personal opinions and not the opinions of any entity or employer. |

You are not. This has been a carefully calculated decision. I don't know you, but if you think you know me after reading a couple paragraphs about me, you're mistaken. To those of you saying that I'm a "whiner:" I am not trying to complain. I'm trying to shed light on what is going on at Envoy. If anything, this is going to help you guys, as less people will be recruited. When recruitment dwindles, you will receive your beloved increase in pay. Until then, I have no idea why some of you feel like taking your frustrations with the industry out on me. Please. Either refute my points, add to the discussion, or move along. Attacking me as a person is not solving anything. |

You're missing the point of why I wrote this post. It had nothing to do with me. Yes, I found it pertinent to add a bit of my personal history at the beginning, but you are sorely mistaken if you believe that these are my sentiments, and only mine.
if you don't want this to be about you, don't add any of your personal history, period. because frankly, you do bring up a lot of good points but your entire post comes off as whining about your life. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. |

14. Have to say this is false, as in 100% false. I developed an upper respiratory infection in July that required I call out for three trips that month due to complications. Upon my probationary review, we discussed them and they where noted. I am off probation with a job still. It would be foolish for an airline to punish for such a thing. It would be a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Your first sentence though. I'm gonna need you to back that up with some evidence.

What is getting better? Vacation? Pay? Flow? Schedules? Days off? I can't think of anything.

What's important is that I am no longer at the dirtbag company known as envoy. Like you and your recruiter salesmen like to say here, the legacy floodgates are about to be thrown wide open. I'm thinking my Bus PIC is the same or better than your regional jet PIC. Hope you enjoy your stay at envoy waiting for that imploding flow. Looks like your wait is going to be quite a few years. |
