It's more likely that Envoy is closing Miami base.

You will get offered wherever they have open seats in class. Could have a choice of all frames / certs or just one. You can defer up to 3 times then you are out. Highly likely it will be a 170 slot.

Defer as in defer a class date?. I.E they offer me the Q, I say no thanks, and wait. I got a offer on the CHQ side, decline again. Then I get a RAH offer on the 170, and accept. Is that how it works?

Bro what's your deal? Why twist around the facts? He was on reserve not picking up OT on days off. It's pretty easy to break 100 hrs on reserve at a short staffed airline. None of us are bragging about 1st year pay, only calling out the people exaggerating it saying you won't break 20k when your W2 will easily break $30k. I'm not saying a little over $30k on the W2 is awesome of justified nor am I trying to get on a debate of if per deim is pay or not. Honestly I don't really care, I'm just laying out facts for people who asked a simple question.

That's basically it. You inform them, when they first offer, what you're looking for and they will keep that in mind for the next offers. I passed on an S5 and RP class for a YX class because I lived in DCA area and wanted to be home based. They basically offered all three at once for me though and that was before the Qs came over.

Honestly, the Q is the probably the best deal right now, as you know you will be displaced off it soon. Especially, since you get an extra type, a bigger bonus and no training contract. The big gamble is that you never know how the displacement will work as RAH generally just gives you two options which aren't usually in your best interest. If you are single and can afford the risk, I would go there.

The Q would be a great deal for me, however Im current flying a turboprop (135 BE99) I would like some jet time.

But the facts you listed were a good point.

Haha, I never thought I'd hear anybody say the Q is the best deal lol but you make a good point. If you don't mind doing 2 long term training classes in a year or so you could cash in on the bonus.
