That does make it sound good but to me I don’t have any interest in flowing unless something happens that prevents me from leaving (industry downturn). The only thing that appeals to me about the flow is a “guaranteed” number of pilots off the top of the seniority list outside of attrition. That keeps things moving and prevents stagnation from what I can tell. Good for getting the 1000 PIC and moving up the list quickly especially on the 175 side. Does anyone think that instead of having crazy reserve on the 145 and none on the 175 will eventually equal out to a moderate amount of reserve on both?

Are you talking about going to another place (other than AA) from Envoy or staying at Envoy for a career?

I would explore ExpressJet as well. No DFW base anymore, but Houston offers all the “promise land” opportunities that north Texas does. All Embraer fleet, bases in the northeast, Midwest, and Texas. And now is the absolute best time to get in the door there, they are about to rocket out of the dumpster.

I third ExpressJet & Republic being a place to be. Great opportunities in Houston from people I know. North TX properties are expensive & cost of living growing.

Our regional industry is always changing. A year is a long time to be committed to any regional carrier recruitment/cadet program. No regional is as bad as it was 3yrs ago. 2-3yrs ago is not the current standard for pay rate, or QOL.

OP, Great economic trajectory we live in now. Imagine the next 2-3year out of 8-9+ years. What if the music stop. Which regional do you think will most likely come after your Pay, QOL, and bases for cheaper operators????????

Yeah I’m just hesitant about expressjet because it was really bad there for a while but I will keep my options open. Since I have a little bit of time I’m just going to keep all the options open and watch over the next few months and see how things play out.

Don’t forget, Envoy was in a pretty bad place a couple years ago too. XJT is a completely different company today, with no more overlords in St George and United calling the shots.

If you’ve got some time still, I wouldn’t commit to anyone until you’re ready to go to class. Envoy could (hopefully) be a completely different story by then.

I think XJT is a solid choice right now. Now is the time to buy low to later sell high with them. There are 25 175s on the way. They recently invested in a 175 sim for their training center. You don’t do that for only 25 planes. More will be announced in the future.
