As for the upgrade comment, yes, it takes about two years right now to upgrade. 300 or so your first, about 700 your second.

CA vacancies aren’t determining the pace of upgrades. Hours alone are determining whether or not a pilot upgrades on a given vacancy. How this has escaped you is a mystery to me.

The CRJ is the hell fleet, the 145 experience is similar for the first year though.

Hi Everyone

I have scheduled an interview with Envoy for the following week. Has anyone gone through it recently? Would like to know what to expect. I am very interested. Thanks!

Lol. Listen, if you are last on the list and people upgrade, you move up the list and get more hours. I understand you still need the 950 but my point is that as people upgrade or flow above you, better opportunities open for you to get more hours. How this escapes you is a mystery to me. You fail to realize that as people upgrade the qol for those below them improves, which includes hours.

People upgrading out of FO seats on other fleets doesn’t affect me at all. I can see you haven’t thought much about this, but are stubborn enough to go back and forth endlessly regardless, so this will be my last attempt to explain things to you.

I have a friend interviewing with Envoy shortly, do you know if current 121 ( with another regional) have to do the tech portion, or is just HR. Someone had mentioned to be last year it was HR only, has that changed. Thanks in advance.

Tech and HR for everybody.

Thanks for reply. Also what is the quality of life there. Can you drop trips/RSV, fly little or fly a lot? My buddy is at a regional that is so short staffed he can't even get a day off to attend a family issue once in a blue moon.

Thanks

If you are on reserve as an FO probably won’t fly much. But don’t expect to ever drop a day. Sometimes you can drop a turn at the end of a sequence, but most of the time any days or legs you ask to drop will be denied.

This, as almost everything here, depends on your base and fleet. I've dropped a few RSV days no problems.
Also, junior FOs in my seat fly a decent amount, 40-50 a month, the more senior guys don't even bother to commute in.
