It's a little bit of legal dancing from Envoy. They don't hire street captains, everyone comes to Envoy as an FO. However, before you start, they can pay you a bonus. On day one, you will pick an FO job off the board of FO vacancies... then as soon as they wipe the board clean, you will be displaced to the left seat of either the CRJ or 145 in either LGA or ORD.
There have been typically 5-10 DECs per class, so relative seniority builds. They seem to be running a displacement bid every 3 months to force qualified FO's to the left seat. Many don't want to because they have seniority in the right seat, weekends and holidays off, and they aren't trying to build a resume because they will flow in the time it would take them to build 1000 hrs of PIC.
