You can identify any way you like.

Too many people need to get that little fact of life into their heads... it will prevent disappointment and help you make rational decisions based on a rational world-view (as opposed to the everything is fair and everyone will get a trophy regardless world-view).

That said, whether you quit your job is up to you. Financially it would be worth it in the long run if you do DEC now vs. waiting years for upgrade... and I'm not talking about regional airline finances, I'm talking major airline pay down the road. I don't think one year makes a difference to recruiters, but five years might. It sure did for my generation... most of them are too old, too stale, no recent type ratings, going nowhere fast at M.074

M.074 might be a tad below ref speed even with all the barn doors hanging in the wind...

Never saw anything they had to "put up with" in college or flight training...

A guy pilot calls a woman pilot a nice piece of @ss behind her back but within earshot. In a closed cockpit with just guys inside, a captain questions whether a woman pilot can make a decision because she's female. I've seen 'em both, and I'm only a little more than a year in.

I don't see these types of guys often. These guys exist, though, and I wouldn't want to be on the receiving side of what they're offering, whether it's overt or not.

Other than Envoy, are there any other companies hiring direct entry captains now?

Piedmont is.

Has their training delay been worked out at all? How much are the DEC's actually flying once they get on the line?
