Double edge sword my friend. Some might stay for the money, but if you can’t be home to enjoy the pay bump might as well bounce.

The upside at Envoy is bottom of the list commuters will likely proffer for the overnights and anything juicy gets appropriated as OT. Envoy also can’t assign those trips earlier than the day prior anyway, after 1700 when people have had a chance to proffer.
Yeah, long call is pretty useless at Mesa unless you want to fly on your reserve days.

Hey, I heard you can’t refuse a junior assignment at Envoy. That’s about the only good thing we have at Mesa. We can refuse it with no punitive actions.

Have y’all gone to a minimum 12 days off per month schedule yet? It says so on the recruitment website.

I know exactly what you’re talking about brother, we have 11 off at Mesa and I’m a commuter and I feel like I live in hotels, airports and airplanes and visit my wife and home a couple days a month. My wife says she feels like she lives alone. Sometimes makes me question why I do this job.

Seems like no one in this job, especially regionals, gets enough time off.

No, we haven't. Your second paragraph is the most apt description of my lifestyle since I started here that I've ever read. I absolutely live at work and visit home.

Default PSA vs ENVOY

Good Afternoon everyone

I have CJO for both PSA and ENVOY same class dates, unsure what to choose...

Does someone have insight on the training timeline for both PSA and Envoy?

Thanks

It all depends on where you live, or would want to move to. Choose the base where you live or closest easiest commute to whatever of those have bases.

Could someone comment on how Envoy’s schedule tends to look these days? Is it mostly 4-day trips? Are there any 3-day and 5-day trips in the mix? I’m most interested in the DFW and MIA bases. Just looking to know how the schedule has changed, now that Envoy is increasing its minimum days off.

And how about reserve schedule?

Thanks!

4 on 2-3 off lineholder
5 on 2-3 off reserve
Pretty much all 4 days.

Got it, thank you! But I imagine you don’t get used on all 5 days of reserve, right? Cuz trips are 4 days long and you’re guaranteed 12 days off per month?
