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.

I would caution the suggestion above of not commuting in for RAP (ie not being available within the required 2 or 3 hour callout). Pilots have been terminated in the past when caught doing this for time card fraud.

Just an observation.

I’m sure RN will have something to say. What’s the difference between sitting RAP in MKE and driving to ORD or choosing to sit RAP in MSN and flying in? If you watch the list, start making your way to the base when it gets closer to you, tell scheduling you’ll be out of pocket for thirty minutes but accept and confirm any assignments sent your way, then who cares? These guys are trying to crucify everyone that they can.

Do both fleets have a NYC base? If a newhire FO is not awarded NYC initially, is it pretty easy to bid for it later? Thanks.

Only 145 in NYC

Probably can get NY in three to six months. There have been bids every three months for the last few years. It might be possible to have it awarded while in training and not spend time in another base (ORD), but NY is small and shrunk a bit. Part of it just depends on where your hire date falls in the bid cycle.

That being said, depending what your timeline is, there are probably better options than Envoy if you want NY.

What would the better options be? Republic and Endeavor would be great options except they make you wait forever for a class, and I’m thinking upgrades would take longer than at Envoy. Expressjet maybe? Commutair? Any insight is appreciated.
