Yes they provide hotels for you during training. After your week of indoc, you're going home for probably a month (with pay) before you come back and start the process of the 175 type rating. 3 days of emergency procedures training, then home again for ~10 days for CBTs, then back to DFW for ground school, then up to STL for Level D sims. In case you were wondering, the sims are the big chokepoint in the training pipeline. They only have the space available for 6 new-hires every two weeks. You'll be paired with a CA who's getting their 175 type as your sim partner. I'm in the 4/25 class and I've got a total of 6 weeks off with pay before I come back and resume training. There's another group that's two weeks behind mine, then the first group of your class should be next up. Don't expect to see a sim before July.

 

Wouldn't mind the time off. Time to travel!

Thanks

 

Call in sick and go do your traveling.

 

 

Any idea if new classes are going to Dfw or Ord ? Interviewing soon and looking for ORD.

 

They want people to take ORD, so yes, you can easily get it. They would be happy to give it to you since most people want only DFW 175.

 

They let you choose your base and sometimes the equipment too.

 

Can any of you tell me why ORD is not popular?

 

I think both dfw and ord are not popular

 

Many other regionals pay better and have quicker upgrade times. Envoy has issues when it comes to getting new hires to accept ORD for these reasons. We are generally a strong recruiter in Dallas for well qualified pilots but struggle attracting pilots anywhere outside Texas.
