Because for me, it's the best regional.
I got CJOs from the usual suspects, but Envoy was nr#1 for me.

Yes.

D = DFW, O = ORD, N = NYC
F = FO, C = Captain
L = 175, E = 145, C = CRJ.

So for example, OCC is ORD, Captain, CRJ. DCL would be DFW Captain 175, and so on.

I have a friend that works at envoy, he loves it there, of course theirs always a downside to any regional, he recommends me to go there and I believe it is a good regional. I'm not into the flow kool aid, ofcourse I can always apply to any other major on the long run but why not have the flow as a back up?.

The time to get hired here in the sweet spot has come and gone. I have a good QOL here and really can’t complain besides the pay issue and toxic environment passed down by management. However with that said I don’t recommend this place to any of my friends looking at regionals. In my opinion, you’re simply setting yourself up for failure and leaving quite a bit of money on the table in doing so. And if you do come here and then decide to leave, keep in mind you might fly 150 hours in your first year. That alone is a complete waste of time and makes it even more difficult for your career progression. And if you commute then I definitely would cross envoy off the list.

Is there a bonus associated with this “friend” recruiting you?

Haha! So much I’m tempted to say but will not.
