CFI is not required (by the FAA, company requirements might) At my company, if you never held any CFI then you had to do an extra day of ground training covering the fundamentals of instructing. If you ever held a CFI then that was covered in the FOI test for the CFI. Also as an LCA, if you've kept your CFI current, it allows you to renew the CFI based on being a current LCA (at least at the FSDO near me) so no sitting in front of a computer for 2 days or instructing and signing off students on the side.

At envoy it's an open posting and applications are accepted with references from current LCA and your chief pilot. If accepted then you have an interview. Then a day of ground instruction with FAA present. Then sim training for right seat qualification. Couple observation flights of IOE. Then a final observation by the FAA while you conduct a line check. The FAA was involved in the process along the way a good bit. From their perspective they are interviewing you as well.
