Default When should I apply?

I will try to keep this short.

I am a former 121 regional airline FO 12 years removed and want to go back to professional flying. I have roughly 2570TT with a little over 2000 of that in the right seat of a SAAB 340 at the regional airline. I do not have my ATP and have not flown any in the last 12 years until very recently when I decided to return to flying as a career. I got my flight review sign off and just started working on my IPC.

When should I put my application out? Now? Wait until I complete my IPC? Sometime after that when I have more recent time?

Thanks.

We're so desperate for bodies, you might as well apply now. FWIW, the pending LOA's contain some prior 121 longevity credit language.

10 per class sounds like Envoy is overstaffed

Training is the bottleneck, all our check airmen are at United.

A potential DEC or near DEC? They would have probably come to you.

They'd probably put you up at the Gaylord Texan if you asked at this point.

Most of the recent classes have had DFW and MIA slots with no ORD. But there’s always a chance a class out of the blue that a class gets only ORD. In which case it should only a few months for next quarterly bid and then transfers to rake place.

How old are you? I’m guessing late 40s early 50s. Consider coming here for an ATP and some recency, then jumping ship to Spirit.
