Envoy has set themselves up very nicely, though you will still find some folks online who are still upset about the whole 16-years of stagnation that led up to the present day. If you need any other info/guidance you can signup at the website or PM me directly here. Good luck!

Honest question, are you a recruiter or just a regular line guy?

I had a friend go to training at another WO'd with 1450. I'm pretty sure it would be the same for Envoy.

Regular line guy. I know all the BS that we've been through: I spent my entire first year sitting ready reserve between commuting to NYC. But the numbers don't lie. In between finally holding a line, picking up 200% premium, and the $2,500 a month bonus, I'm making what I'd be making as a reserve Captain. I'm working my tail off, but things are getting better. Of course, to be fair, I wasn't here for the whole bankruptcy contract followed by merger concession kick in the throat combo.

This is not sound advice. Do not lie to get noticed. Be truthful always. A new hire was recently fired for lying.

Currently, envoy's most junior Captain = 8.5 years. Most junior flow through = 16+ years. Recent announcement is strictly bait to attract new hires.

Reserve life at envoy sucks. Hard line-holder at envoy also sucks. Mostly non-commutable 4-day trips with 11 days off a month. No duty or trip rigs.

Horrible quality of life at envoy right now. I'd seek elsewhere.

If they leave no room on the application for doubt that is one thing, though I don't think that they'd refuse to interview a candidate because of a twenty hour discrepancy that was self-reported before the interview. I stand by my interpretation.
Wait, so you are advocating he pencil whip his logbook or falsify his application knowing full well he doesn't quite have the 1500?
