I don’t understand what so cool about pictures they always take that show people falling over.

I was operating a flight a few weeks back and a grandfather was on the flight. He came up front and was so excited to tell us about how his grandson, a college senior, was being recruited by Envoy.
I understand it though, younger college students probably feel extremely special getting the mail and calls from regional recruiting departments. It’s hard to blame the kids, or explain to them in any meaningful way that they’re not special.
Tough spot to be in as a pilot with Envoy. Hopefully something falls in yall’s favor sooner than later.

And it’s why many with 4 year degrees don’t do much and don’t have much to show for their degrees. Certainly not at a job that’s offering big bonuses and a livable wage.

Hasn't ONE single Envoy pilot taken the time to figure out how he's being compensated by management for these videos? They've got to at least be approving the message he puts out. Either way it should **** off more than a few average line pilot joes.
Where does his allegience lie?
The pilot group?
The airline?
His website?

They can't expect to be a social worker and make bank. If they're going to take on debt to get through school they seriously need to examine their prospects first. Just saying.
