My biggest gripes about Envoy is the long reserve times and bad schedules right now. A mid-level line holder at Envoy will have a worse schedule than a junior line holder at a good regional. Commuting to reserve at Envoy is the worst QOL time period you will ever experience. Junior Reserve Commuter is the absolute worst position for any of the regional airlines.
I wish you had a third option to choose. I can't believe I'm saying this but I think short and long run GoJet may be a better choice.
Anyone know what it's like to commute from LIT to ORD?
90% chance to get 145 or CRJ? Not even close. Past 6 months, It's been right at 50/50 between 175 and 145. And like 1.5% for CRJ and getting lower.
And junior reserve commuter isn't the worst place to be, you actually get to fly quite a bit. It's the mid-junior point when a class or two after you finish IOE when you're too "senior" to get used but too junior to get any proffers when things seem to suck more.
If you want bad reserve rules, look at CommutAir.
Commuting to reserve sucks everywhere, but a short staffed airline might be even worse. Hello JM's and extensions. Who cares if you hold a line, when lineholders are the reserve.
And for a rotor guy, AQP is worth quite a bit.
