So, they guarantee you ‘70’ hours a month of RSV pay. Are your actual flight hours paid differently, when you fly off RSV, or is it a flat ‘70’ until you reach that threshold & then paid more if you go over?

TIA

All it takes is a day or two of airport standby not getting used and a GRK overnight and you’ll never break minimums. The reserves get the leftovers that line holders trade out of because they are so unproductive. It’s not unusual to see a 9 hour four day trip or a 12 hour five day given on reserve.

If you fly past your RSV guarantee (Non OT) then at that point you will credit more than RSV guarantee. Pretty much impossible as a RSV Pilot.

At 75 hours you will become the last pilot they will call for an assignment. Breaking guarantee on reserve does not happen here.

Footprint?

What’s the training footprint for someone coming in with a 145 type?

Same as if you didn’t have the type even if you get NFE initially. You’ll just have less of the “now where was that button again?” Moments throughout

As stated above, it’s the same footprint. The CBTs are mostly self-paced so you can save some time and brainpower there. You can’t completely blow them off because the company tracks your times, but if you know the material it will go way faster than the advertised time.

A lot of emphasis in training is placed of flows and call outs. These are likely slightly different from your last company, so you’ll need to spend some effort overwriting your mental hard drive to get the new stuff in and keep the old stuff out. Its not hard, but it takes more effort than you’d think.

I’m considering Envoy and trying to figure out exactly what I’ll be getting into.
