Upcoming Interview
 

Hey Guys;

Good to be here. I just was offer an interview for direct entry captain. I have a few questions. Hope someone can answer it for me.
-Which airplane will they place you and initial base?
-If LGA how long before you get to MIA and which bases are flying the EMB145
-I see they are getting more E175. Will the replace all the EMB with it or just adding more.
-In the screening what you I expect and what they want to know about me.

Thanks in advance;

Regards....

Forsure LGA initially. Probably at least 6 months to see anything else.

thanks flysooner9. How long before you can get off reserve??

Is there a DEC on here that recently went through the program that I can PM?

Company will try to tell you no reserve. It will completely dependent on how many DEC’s get hired after you.

Flysooner doesn’t work here at Envoy

I’ve been through more of the DEC process then you have.

Some of the Nov17 DEC new hires got a composite line this month for LGA.

That being said unless there is an increase in lines they will be bumped back to reserve as 2016 new hires upgrade.

Company just announced additional 175’s and 15 more 145’s so who knows how that will play out with bases and/or additional lines being added.

A new now DEC should expected to spend about 12 months or more on reserve unless these additional aircraft shake things up.

As for flysooner or whatever his handle is, he doesn’t work here so he’s only going off 2nd hand information. The 30 additional aircraft announced in just the last 24 hours, is something that is an unknown on how that will affect reserve times and times to holding anything other than LGA.

Being a DEC here at Envoy is still a **** sandwich though like most other places. If you get in early enough it’s not too bad but here at Envoy you are getting closer to the big wave of 2016 new hires upgrading and will constantly bump you down the CA list.

No, but i do see all the flow plans, reserve lists and the company announcememts which you don’t. Even then my worse case scenarios or conservative estimates are usually off and up working out better.

Thank you havick206. I do not drink the coolaid of AA flow thru. I am looking for a stable place where I could be base in Miami at some point and I ok job environment. I would be given up a 300k wide body captain to join Envoy, yet no regret if working conditions are acceptable.

Thank you againg
