Well hell, maybe I should go fly a Boeing sooner than I planned, screw waiting for 1000 tpic

Getting ready to start interviewing. I'll let you know when I decide where I'm going if I need that to validate my opinions.

Nothing needs to be validated...but if you were wise you would listen to those of us who are already airline pilots, have worked for more than one airline and can maybe provide some perspective which you don't have yet. Snarky comments won't do you any good.

HL, you sound an awful lot like the infamous facebiter.

Nahh, Facebiter was Skywest and trolled everyone

wow that guy really hates mesa, to all those who are looking to get into the industry, a regional is a regional thats all we are the bottom feeders, envoy, mesa, republic, air whisky some pays better than some but some you will upgrade quicker that some, evaluate and make a decision you're not gonna be there long and don't listen to anyone. good luck

Sounds like you are a sad little millenial who's gonna "try out" a few regionals on his way to the majors. I'm just glad I don't have to share a cockpit with your angry a$$. Good luck with your intelligent career decisions. SARCASM.

What a dumpster fire.

Once again, thank god I am on the UAX 175 side. Nothing but rainbows and unicorns over here.

A BIG amen to all that brother. I'd like to add that I have a very good friend who started with Envoy about 6 months ago in the CRJ. He freaking HATES it there. He said he's lucky to get 40 or so hours a month of flying on reserve AND can expect to be on reserve at least a year. The only good part about flying so little is that it limits the amount of time he has to spend around arrogant a$$#oles ... his words, not mine. He's seriously considering coming over to Mesa to get out of the ORD hellhole and back to DFW, get more flying, better trips (incl. Mex), much better upgrade prospects, and with a more amiable peer set. He's young and the regional game's just a stepping-stone so he looks at the pay cut to be well worth regaining his enjoyment of flying. I certainly can't argue with him. And, to me here's the proof about Envoy. You have a solid guy who hates the place after only 6 months.

A few of our FO's left recently to Envoy. Down the road it will be interesting to hear from them. I know the former Envoy guys who came to Mesa generally have a more optimistic outlook here than they did over at Envoy.
My friend who's been there for over four years just recently became a line holder, he is based in ORD. I don't know where they are getting the one year on reserve from, unless it is the e-jet perhaps.
Four years on reserve as a commuter, don't know how he could stand it. My friend also stated that everyone at Envoy hates Mesa's guts... If you ask me, Envoy hates everyone else that isn't Envoy.
