Hi all,
I'm living in DFW and have a class date with another regional but thinking about interviewing with Envoy. Not to sound like the millennial shiny jet chaser but what are the odds a non-cadet can get the E175 as a new hire? According to other threads, I can get DFW pretty quickly. Will this be the same this Fall you think? Not having to commute would be a plus. Training would also be a 20 minute drive every day. If I get the E135/145 I'll be up in New York on reserve forever when I can hold a line at the other airline in a few months up there.
Thanks

Nearly 1000hrs in the 145, I’m a commuter regardless of base. Most likely will get CAORD145... any pros/ cons for also considering 175?
I would consider it if I knew they were expanding to other bases but not likely soon, right? Thoughts?

Seeing as commuting on reserve in hell in our little company I would say any benefits of the 175 are outweighed by being able to hold a line on the 145. If you really want to fly the 175 eventually just don't take the voluntary seat lock and swap equipment a year or so down the line.

For me the biggest thing is getting the upgrade on same type for the qualified upgrade. Don’t want to spend more time in training them I have too. This of course is assuming nothing about it changes my commute or qol for the better.

Imo, 2 jet types vs. 1 and a recent new qual is healthy for your apps, 175 has better trips obviously and is growing extremely rapidly. 145 probably an easy upgrade and you’ll have tons of DECs below you, can bid to 175 later and miss reserve. Good time to be upgrading I think.

From experience, upgrading on the same type lets one focus on captain stuff instead of also learning a new jet. If you can, displace into the CA slot, then keep an eye on when your seniority can hold a line on the 175. Get some PIC on the 145, and then slide over when reserve is off the table.
