Getting back

What is the deal with the Direct entry Captain position? I have been out of the cockpit for a few years been with the FAA. I have 10,000 hours the majority being 121 and 135 PIC. Chief pilot and check airman. Thinking Envoy is a good way to get back in. I Live on Long Island and within a 2 hour ride to LGA. Staying in base is a priority. Any suggestions?

Check out Endeavor, but you are in a position to win at Envoy and I hope you consider it.

It seems like they are short on the CRJ right now so there is a risk of getting ORD CRJ in training. You would be considered displaced and could possibly bid to NY in a few months on the next bid, but that would be another long term.

It all depends on how many more DECs they hire. If they hire 50-75 more after you onto the 145 then you are likely to hold a line. If not then it's going to be a tough ride. I really don't know.
