What are these regionals going to do when these high time F/O’s leave for the Legacy’s and the 1500 CFI’s will all be gone to the ULCC or 135 world after being ghosted for so long.

If those guiding the hiring at Envoy were flying the plane, they’d be lucky to still be holding onto the last rudder static wick. Or as I was once told in an early lesson, if my aircraft was ever involved in a mishap, I wouldn’t be harmed because I was so far behind the plane, I wouldn’t even be at the scene of the accident!

But if you are not someone with captain qualifications, it will be a LONG wait to even be acknowledged.

While all those people are twiddling their thumbs waiting I finished training, got a type and atp and already moved on to a major in about 7 months time. Those people waiting are wasting their career potential. Don’t wait.

Staff made it clear they want to hire FOs and cadets…they understand that they can only string those candidates along for so long. Having said that, there were about 5-8 FOs(non cadets) the rest DEC including myself
