Envoy verses SkyWest

Ok, I have an interview scheduled with SkyWest. I want to be based out of ORD and it looks like Envoy flies a lot of routes out of there as well. I'll commute out of Little Rock.

Question, how junior is ORD for Envoy and should I consider applying there as well? Is there anything to this flow through program or Am I going to be waiting for 5 years?

Please trolls keep to yourself. Looking for professional opinions.

Thanks

No, you would not flow in less than 5 years.

Having said that, I would go with Envoy as they have the best flow out of all the other regionals at 16 years (1999). It will probably come down a year or two soon but if flow is what you are after Envoy is the best choice.

But, I think at Skywest you'll probably fly a lot more and definitely be treated a lot better. And I hate to say it, but I wouldn't bank on any sort of flow. We still have guys who have been waiting 16 years to flow.
Oh and I guess I should mention that you'd have a good chance at getting ORD. We only have 2 bases and that's our biggest one. I think we're overstuffed in DFW.

Ask the 824 how long it took them.

Dude its only 16 years, probably more like 14 years in the next few months. I would go for the guaranteed flow instead of taking a risk and not going with flow. Without the flow, your chances of ever getting hired are near zero.
