Envoy RTP
 

I about to interview with Envoy as an RTP candidate. Looking for what it’s like to be a new FO at Envoy. How long would I spend on RSV? Will I get a choice of base/equipment?

It was the best of times it was the worst of times....I'm sorry bro but it is absolutely impossible to say what its like as a new FO because it will be different for FOs on each aircraft and where you are based. Commuting vs living in base will have a huge difference in QOL. Id ask these questions at the interview. They might actually volunteer the information.

i was a new hire in feb. im still on reserve but will probably hold a line in sept or oct. However when i went through at least half the class got 145/LGA. now i understand more people are getting the 175 which is currently a little more senior in ord. so maybe longer.

This is accurate but it may not be accurate for very long. I use to be able to predict what the company would likely do in the near and long term but now I'm at a loss. I have no clue what the next few months will look like.

Military grunt I know with 80 hrs of Cessna time and Thousands helo time wants to know if he would qualify for the rtp program. He does have the gi bill still, I think

Based on hours...yes. Needs to have 250 fixed-wing PIC by the end of RTP. Is any of the 80 hours logged as PIC? That would help lower the program cost.

Also, needs to have a good attitude and be able to get through the interview screening.

Best bet is to talk to a pilot recruiter for any airlines he’s interested in about his specific situation...

I was RTP. Coast from June to Sep last year. ATP/CTP in October. INDOC in November. You choose base and equipment day 1 of indoc. You choose from what is offered. Not everything is always available. I finished IOE in Feb. Reserve in March and held a line in April. Transfer to DFW in October and I should hold a line there.

Your results may vary.

Have him find RTAG- Rotary to Airline Group on Facebook. Group of folks specifically helping military rotary wing guys get info on RTP's

“Grunt” usually refers to a “ground pounder,” not an “air pounder.” Is his helo time as a military pilot? Likely so, but makes a big difference whether it is military or civilian. Also there are those that think being in the aircraft as a non-pilot is the same as being a pilot. Obviously not.
