What are the numbers in your calculation? Don't ever count on the upgrade but their 20k bonus does a lot to pay back the envoy bonus.

Any idea if upcoming classes are DFW E-175 only or does it look like ORD spots are available as well ?

If you want ORD they will send you to Ord. You might even be able to choose which plane.

The flow looks like it will work out for those at the top but new guys like me probably won't ever see it. Endeavor is offering a 1 year upgrade. That's the main reason I'm looking at them. Plus you get a guaranteed Delta interview.

You won't upgrade in 1 yr because you need 1,000 P121 before you can upgrade. Good luck with whatever decision you make.

Don't think this way guys and gals. If you have to wait in line and delay classes don't do it. Take the first class you can. Still can't understand what people's hard-on is for the 175.

Yes, I was thinking along the lines of the bonus they are offering would help me pay back the Envoy bonus and have some left.

You are right I know. Close to 300 now. I know it will take a year to a year and a half at Endeavor to get there. It's hard to pass up the money they are offering. Plus you get a Delta interview. I'm pretty new but the treatment here is pretty bad. I'm not expecting any better treatment at Endeavor but at least I'll be compensated for it.

What, specifically, constitutes pretty bad treatment? Not intending any snark by the question, genuinely interested in what creates problems in the day-to-day life of a regional pilot at Envoy.
