Haven’t heard of any. There are however some bonuses that will still help you make up some of that money. That being said, they are close to hiring DECs and if you have the time to upgrade already, you will likely be able to do so by the time you finish training, as long as you want to sit reserve as the junior captain out of ORD on a 145.

A couple of guys I talked to said they were hired as DECs, but allowed to go through initial as FOs with the intent of giving them some adjustment time to plane and company before a QU, but then Covid happened and we all know where things went from there. And in fact, they got the DEC bonus and left before this most recent bid when the could have actually held captain again.
Bottom line, the door is open for DECs again but no details what that will look like yet, other than like I said, sitting eternal reserve in ORD on a 145.

They did just announce the standing vacancy, but nothing about DECs specifically on the recruiting page, just the bonuses I already mentioned. And in typical Envoy fashion, other than the extra $7.5K for an Embraer type rating, there is no breakdown on how or for what the bonus breaks out.

Also, I don't think there really are many sources for DECs. Only place I can think of is Cape Air. Other regionals have flows now, including places that hire DECs. And if you are qualified for a DEC position, you are qualified for legacies/ACMI/LCCs, so that would make no sense.

With the fleet dying a slow inevitable death, I can't think of much worse than being the plug for years, only to be displaced as the plug on another fleet.
