Same here, but did my fingerprints/drug screen/logbook review on August 3rd. Apparently the FAA or Mesa didn’t get my paperwork back to Envoy until last week.

Now I have to make the decision between staying at Mesa and upgrading, or moving to Envoy as a DEC.

Any advice from current Envoy employees would be appreciated. Gonna be commuting from Louisiana. Have about 4-5 direct flights daily.

You may not get Dfw right away. You’ll be jr on reserve for 3.5 years. What’s the jr base? Commuting to reserve sucks.

The training department at Mesa is in disarray. I have no idea when I’ll be able to upgrade (I have the hours by a lot) because of the emphasis on FO’s right now. Besides that, the failure rate for upgrades is very much higher than it should be because of the training department. And Mesa doesn’t have the years of 121 experience credit that Envoy does. I’d be starting at Envoy as an 8 year DEC vs a 4 or 5 year CA at Mesa. Plus the bonuses at Envoy. The money at Envoy would definitely be more.

I flew with a new Mesa CA the other day, it took him 6 months to upgrade. That’s ridiculous. At least the FO min pay would be livable now, but not when he went through it.

Dude you’re a clown, get out of here.

You’ll get DFW within 3-6 months if not right away, and you will be on reserve at most a few months.

All 3 bases are very attainable for FOs, DFW is junior captain base.

Are you at Mesa right now? If so you already have the seniority, years, etc. Training issues is another subject.

I did my fingerprints and junk a little over a week ago and I just got a orientation date for 10-6 this morning.

I had about 5 years 121. But I’ve been corporate for the last 3.
