You can't have 14-15 days off 4day trip line with only 2 days off EVERY week. Obviously you get more days off than that. Look at a calendar and do the math with 15 days off in a month between 4 day trips.

You might have (4) 4days a month. Or (3) 4 days and a (1) 3 day or whatever. It varies.
So doing 4 on 2 off is good? Especially when they're non commutable? So yeah at the end of the month it gets better, but in-between your not home for 2 weeks, yeah sounds great. Tonight's email proved how bad schedules are. I Hear Dic didn't have a chance to let Sam under his desk today, was he busy with you?

Where did I say its good? I just answered the question. Nobody likes 2 days off. Personally I want 20 days off between trips lol. Trip trade if you can and move things to rearrange days off. It is a feature we have. Sometimes you can, sometimes not. I usually can modify some days off. Nobody likes being junior either. Life as an airline pilot......

Talk to them about it. If you haven't started here yet you probably aren't officially hired yet. You may still be eligible for the 15K.

You will probably get it. You can email recruiting and get a concrete answer.

You're obviously very upset and emotional about Envoy but to make a blanket statement like that is unrealistic. When it comes to regionals Envoy certainly is not the worst of them all, unlike what many on here make it out to be. Nor is it even close to the best. But let's be fair. Envoy does have some benefits that many other regionals don't provide and now that they're throwing $15k to new hires I would imagine that might make a difference when comparing.

There are too many on here constantly bashing Envoy and most of these posters I would doubt work at Envoy currently or maybe ever have. That's not to say everything is incorrect but it certainly is misleading when characterizing the entirety of the company.
