You are exactly right..! that is what I don't want to do...no mention that your new hire bonus ($22000 ) will go away quickly if you are not able to do OT, unfortunately this is the price that we have to pay if we want to fly for the airlines. Another thing is Health Insurance I've a family of 3 how much will be cut for my paycheck?

In Phoenix... I'd say Skywest or perhaps Compass. Same or easier commutes than Envoy with better pay and QOL.

Others have pointed out that you will fly more and make more money at Mesa, but I am morally obligated to never recommend Mesa to anyone with less than 2 DUIs, checkride failures, and/or felony convictions on their record.

Wow. I recently met a Mesa captain who was an Air Force Academy grad, retired colonel and KC-135 commander. I wonder how many DUI’s, check ride failures and felonies he has? :rolleyes:
