Default Envoy?

Need some insite on the interview for Envoy before applying:
1. Is the interview tough to pass or do they ask deep technical questions besides the tell me about a time Qs.
2. Should I be aiming for the 145 or 175 cause I heard they were phasing out the 145s.
3. The best drive to apply for Envoy is the pay but not much on the domicle side.
Thanks in advance

3. There are others that pay more or the same. Find one with a domicile you like.
2. Aim for 145, that's what you are most likely to end up on.
1. I don't know if they still send you a link to the Jepp 101 book with the invite, but if you know the jepp and actually been around flying for those past 1500 hrs it shouldn't be an issue. Look over the interview gouges on airline interviews for TMAAT type Qs

Interview isn’t tough, but they do ask tech questions. Aviation interviews.com

145s not going anywhere anytime soon.

Envoy pay isn’t a draw. Neither is the QOL. And if you don’t like the domiciles there are other options.

Would have to agree with all of this. If you like our bases than its an average place to be, however if you plan on commuting or there is a company with a base in your town, I would look there. Obviously this is assuming you dont "need" the flow for something or AA is a must.

The pay should not be a draw to come to Envoy.

Your pay is based off of two things... hourly rate and hours you credit multiplied together.

Envoy has a decent hourly rate, but the hours you can credit are horrible. There are several places to go where you can easily credit well above 100 hours per month. At Envoy, plan on the 72/(75 reserve) min month guarantee. You can scrap together some overtime to bump it up, but you'll probably end up losing some of it with our poor pay protections.

The bonuses are bigger other places, too.

How can you lose pay from OT?

Wrong

I credit over 100 hours every month with 14-15 days off. Ain't that difficult. It cost me $4,99 a month.

Do you live in base?
Do you have weekends off?
Are you in the 175?
14-15 days off including the OT you pick up?

It's possible, but only on 175 when you live in base.
It's hard not to break guarantee as a lineholder on 175. A ton of productive OT going around as well. Things are a bit less rosy on the 145 side.
