New Hire Questions
 

Hello guys.

I am preparing for my upcoming interview with Envoy. But in the meantime, I wanted to ask a couple of questions.
If hired, any delays or backlogs in training? How long is the wait to get a class?
After IOE, how long should I expect to be on reserve either at LGA 145 or ORD 175?
And how long would it take me to be able to hold DFW as base? And how long after that to hold a line?
Thanks!!

-Doesn't seem to be any training delays recently
-Not sure about how long the wait for class is but I can't imagine that they won't be able to squeeze you into a class within 1-2 months
-RSV times are a moving target but by the time you're done with long term it should be spring which means more flying
-You can get to DFW most likely within 2-3 months but you will definitely be on RSV a bit longer there than at ORD for example

When do benefits start for new hires? More specifically is there a waiting period for health insurance?

All benefits are immediately. I think the only thing that doesn't start full fledge right off the bat is buying a ZED fare ticket (you can still jumpseat, your family will only be able to ride on AA/WO for the first 6 months) but thats it.

Health insurance is after A month.

How difficult was Envoys initial training after hire?

Flows, profiles, limitations, and callouts. There are no gotcha questions, they're not trying to fire you but they're not going to hold your hand either. Come prepared, be courteous, be professional and you'll be fine.

How much sitting around are guys on reserve doing, versus actually out flying ?

Thank you

I flew 50ish hours in nov


Dfw 175

Depends what airplane, what base. Expect 30-50 hours a month. Once you hold a line you'll be looking ways to drop flying with how much you'll be doing.
