Don't discount the LCCs. Jetblue, Spirit, Allegiant and now Frontier. Those options can provide you a quick exit from Envoy and boost your resume with recent training and an Airbus type.
I left for Allegiant primarily to have the ability to drive to work. I got hired there at the right time and moved to the left seat of the Bus right at the 1 year mark. I updated all of my apps weekly from that point and eventually received a call from Delta. They hired me and at that time I had a little over 400 121 PIC. All in the Bus at Allegiant.
My time at Envoy helped with the resume but I had planned to stay long term at Allegiant and never thought Delta would look at me so early. During the interview, they were impressed with the recency of my training. Initial at Allegiant in the Bus and upgrade 1 year later.
All that to say. Don't bank on this flow. And don't discount the LCCs. Once I had transitioned to Allegiant, the treatment of the pilot group was far more professional than anything I ever had at Envoy.

Best thing about moving to an LCC is big time improvement in QOL and large pay bump from Envoy. Getting "stuck" there wouldn't have been the end of the world.

Came to Envoy as a CFI only with 1600 hours. Slightly under 2 at Envoy, slightly under 2 at Allegiant. Hired at Delta a little over 4k. 4 year. Habitat for Humanity on the res. Volunteered on safety committee at Allegiant as well.

From: E175
If he did get picked up by AA, then E175Driver got picked up without 121 PIC time and relatively short time in 121 world. My belief was that this is not common. Anyone else know of someone with same/similar experience getting to a legacy carrier without 121 PIC time? If so, what's the magic formula?
helped tons.4 yr degree from THE ERAU seal the deal.

Not insignificant, but barely 2% of what American hired for the year. And what that number and the union number don’t show is what the background of the guys being picked up outside the flow is. Most should have never been at Envoy. Usually military with a lack of recency. Some have “other attributes” that no one but God had control of. And I still think E175’s daddy is at AA.
