Training is about two months. Currently the hotel used is the Holiday Inn in Bedford. Nice hotel but not much in the area. The hotel will drive you if you need to get somewhere (3 mile radius I think) Double occupancy for the first week of indoc. For the CRJ you are sent home for 10 days for CBTs. When you get back it is single occupancy. For the past few months it has been ORD E145 and CRJ. Rumors of E175 classes going to new hires this month or next. They will need to eventually hire into the 175 since it currently won't go to guys on property. The classes could be split though to include the CRJ since envoy plans on not sending any to PSA this year. Right now the 175 is only DFW but there are rumors of an Ord base. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

On our latest bid I expect the top 10 FOs on the 175 to be awarded Capt positions. That's almost a quarter of the FO list on the aircraft. New hires will probably start seeing the aircraft as early as late next month. No FOs currently on property can bid the 175.
Also the 175 initial training is all AQP.

I believe you will see DFW E75 awarded to the class that starts on Monday. I am expecting 5 or 6 DFW E75 spots with the remaining, if we get that many new hires to get ORD CRJ and or DFW EMJ.

Ha ha, two different handles and can't keep track of them. Any who... The E75 training has been moved to having some weekends off, this allows for improved QOL for the instructors (the company claims) but it lines up the initial day of training to slide right in after the last day of new hire Indoc.

I live in the metroplex and was curious about the training schedule. If I decide to chase the Envoy signing bonus and retention carrot then I'll be at home during training.
Basically: should I tell the wife that I can still take the kids to baseball practice and Boy Scouts or not?
I mean...my friend was asking...I couldn't care less!
