Few Questions
 

Received a FO CJO last week. Had a few questions regarding Envoy:

1. What’s the estimated time on rsv? (Preferably out of MIA base)
2. how many hours on average would you fly while on rsv per month?
3. if not assigned MIA out of training how long would the wait be before transferring?
4. whatever happened to the Signing bonus and Retention bonuses Envoy had only a few months ago?
5. when is PBS implemented?
6. is airport standby still active?
7. is there any training delays while in training?

thank you

1. No idea
2. Depends on the captain shortage
3. About 3 months
4. Replaced by higher pay rates and DEC bonuses because the regionals need captains more than they need FOs
5. I don’t think anyone knows a date for PBS yet
6. Yes
7. Once they put you on the payroll at Orientation, you may have up to 5 weeks waiting for Indoc depending on your class seniority, during which you will be expected to learn the assigned study guide. DECs are unlikely to have more than a 2 week break after that, FOs might have a 1-5 week break after Indoc while they prioritize getting captains on the line depending on the class. Envoy owns/leases their own sims and has a hundred well paid E175 IOE captains so no backups there. There are worse things than paid time off in training, I sure wish I had more.
