Ditto on what Planegeek said. I can’t get an answer or any info from Envoy… have an Oct class date with SkyWest. (Interviewed with 00 two weeks AFTER Envoy). Plan to get flying as soon as I can even if it’s half pay and no bonuses. Frustrating about lack of communication though.

Class date now or in a month, how long till done with IOE etc - it seems important, but it isn't.

I do agree if it’s a difference of only a few weeks and you can confirm you have a date then go with where you’d be happy getting stuck. But I have to agree with the above that if it’s between starting somewhere now vs 6 months or more then go where you can begin your career sooner. I’m scrambling now to figure out additional interviews since envoy was my only option and I’m ready to move on after waiting this long

This delay of publishing class dates is concerning. I had an interview with SkyWest last month and received a class date for Jan 2023 (E175). Then I was recently asked if I could start in Oct 2022 but I had to say no since I'm still sitting around 600hrs (150hrs short). Apparently, SkyWest is doubling their class size so if you're not worried about pay then SkyWest maybe an option. Just food for thought.

It’s not just a month. It’s an in determinant amount of time. I still don’t have a class date and I’ve been waiting over 6 weeks to even schedule one with them.

Current situation is probably similar in a sense that there is an influx of prior 121 people and the recruiting is trying to figure out when they can put who in class. I get it, got the mins, interviewed, CJO, all ready to go and nothing is happening. Annoying. Make a decision that you are going to be context with in the long run. Delays aren't forever.

Btw the wait time for IOE there is 3+ months

Right now going any regional but an AA w/o regional is a costly financial decision. Money doesn't matter to everyone though, it has died off more recently but around the time I got hired a lot of people had huge trust funds.
