You can't really expect anything, for now it looks like ORD E145, but it can change. And yes, reserve. Lots, and lots, of reserve. You'll need a Netflix subscription. And Amazon Prime, when you've watched every single thing in Netflix.

The DEC program will be coming to an end by the summer. So you might want to think long and hard about your QOL and what it will be if you decide to come to Envoy. If you were to come into the next class you wouldn’t put more than 25 pilots under you before the program ends. That’s a crappy reserve life...unless you live in base.

Yeah whatever. Sorry for trying to help. Clearly the union seniority list isn't accurate.
The junior MCE on the union seniority list is ~1380 seniority number, DOH 7/2017. And the latest flow plan doesn't have anyone junior to him moving over to MCE.
Looking at the reserve list, looks like there are 6 MCE's who have moved there after my "reference point" from the union list.

Yeah but at what cost. DECs make what, 65k? And the worst QOL out there. Far, far better choices than coming to Envoy.

Yes, they will consider you, and they WILL make you a DEC. You need to think long and hard about being hired directly as a CA after an 18 year absence. It is possible you could talk them into 6 months as an FO, but not guaranteed. Worth an interview to have that discussion if everything else is a good fit for you.

envoy who had over 1000 hours 121 from over 10 years ago and he actually joined as an FO for a few months then was forced to upgrade. Turns out he failed upgrade twice and was sent back to FO. Not sure if anyone wants that on their record.

Rookie base question...coming from a former one base shop:
Once you can bid into a base...does that mean you get to keep it?
I mean, at least as long as you want...or bid off of it?
Or, can a senior pilot (in your a/c and seat) push you out of it?
