Default Envoy Cadet Instructor

Just a few quick questions about the Envoy Cadet program and more specifically towards being a Cadet Instructor at one of Envoy's Partner Schools. Im separating from the military after close to 9 years of active duty and will most likely be instructing at one of Envoy's Partner Schools in the DFW area starting later this month. I know that with me living in the DFW area that Envoy is the most likely the regional I want to go with. So my questions are, if selected to be an envoy cadet instructor when do the health insurance benefits kick in, as well as when do all the other benefits kick in as well? Also is being a cadet instructor really worth it in regard to having a better pick when base/equipment is assigned in new hire? Lastly if anyone could give some insight on the pay as a cadet instructor with Envoy that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

So first you’re gonna apply through airlineapps.com, and then go through an interview just like a normal street hire. If selected, then you commit to envoy. If you’re already at a partner school then tell them which one, or they can help place you. You’re paid whatever the flight school pays you for instructing. If I remember correctly, the school sent my paycheck to envoy, then envoy would pay me through their payroll system. I don’t remember exactly when health benefits kick in. Flight benefits start once you commit to the program, which is great. As for picking base and aircraft, as a cadet you’ll pick first. You’ll be placed in seniority using DOH among the other cadets. We really have no idea what they’re gonna do class wise, but the majority of time there are 175 slots, and being a cadet greatly increases your chances of getting a 175 slot. That’s assuming you really want the 175. If you have any other questions feel free to DM me.

So just to be clear, you are not flying in the military?

The last few months all the 175 slots have gone to ORD. Not sure if everyone has bid ORD purposely or if they could choose DFW like they always could for some time now. But since we got a TDY for DFW 175 FO to ORD 175 FO I'd assume they didn't have an option for DFW. Would be a good question for a recruiter. All 145s have gone to LGA. Either case at most it'll probably take 6-8 months at most to get back to DFW.

Also depending on how far out you are with your flight times this could all mean nothing as things are changing constantly.

Follow Envoy Recruiting's Facebook page. They always post a new hire class pic, with the stats of who's going to which base & to which airplane.

This will give ya an idea of what's going on...while you are still getting out of the Military.

I have read several posts about all 175 classes becoming more prevalent, so is there any chance a new hire would see an all 145 class? I have been told they are moving away from the 145's at a very slow rate, but what is the distribution of these 145 spots like?

Impossible to say. Late last year they had 2 100% 175 classes, followed by a 100% 145 class.

The 145 fleet is twice the size of the 175 fleet. It needs twice the pilots, including twice the new hire F/O's.
