I meant more like benefits once you join up. DoH from date of being a cadet, helps for seniority in your class and benefits start day one. Your flight benefits travel date when on standby is based on that doh too.

Pay has increased markedly for First Year FO's in the last 12 months. Things only seem to be getting better.

This is what I was thinking. It would suck to commit to one of these programs and miss out on a better deal later on. And who knows what things will look like by the time I get to 1500. Do you think any other airlines will adopt similar programs in the future?

Pretty sure we are being trolled...

Just say no to the envoy convoy

Hey,

Has anyone successfully gotten out of the contract? I don't want to work for them (or any regional) ever, and I didn't get what was promised in the contract. PM me any info you might have!

Thanks

PS - this is why you don't sign contracts with corporations!!

The downside is that you would be burning the bridge to any AA job down the road. At my school, we can't keep you on after 1500 without breaking our contract with Envoy even if you want to stay.

My advice, go to Envoy for a year. You will get paid better than most 135 SICs, you will gain a healthy chunk of jet time which will make you insurable in most airplanes if you want to go to a corporate job later on.
