Forced upgrade to NY is my number one reason not to come to Envoy now. Plus the pay scale difference. Also the positive space on your second commute attemp is huge in my opinion.

Yes, but we have flow. That is huge!

No not really. Not for a person who has a degree. 9 years is a joke. I predict any current regional pilot can be at any major of their choosing in way less then 9 years.

He may very well be but his/her point is valid. I think there are quicker ways to a mainline job in this market assuming you can check the boxes. Degree, clean record and enough time.

No I mean the guy bragging about flow is the troll. Of course there are quicker ways to the majors than 9 years for flow.

I predict that the flood gates aren't going to be nearly as wide when they raise the retirement age again. Flow is nice to have even if it is currently at 9 years. Remember, that is calculated with 0 attrition to other airlines.

My uneducated opinion only.

YMMV
