Interview Experience

“Showed up at 0830 with about 60 other people. Checked in, turned in two forms of ID and paperwork, then sat through a company presentation on history, benefits, and training. The conference room was freezing so bring a jacket. After the presentation we did a written exercise including a customer service question they brought up again later in the interview. Physical tests in groups of ten for jumpseat fit and height. Then group interviews with 5-6 candidates per table, two questions each. Had to read a passage out loud too. Lunch was sandwiches, and that's when they started pulling people. Went from 60 down to about 20, and watching people get walked out was stressful. If you made it you got the CJO, then it was a marathon of paperwork, two drug tests, and fingerprints. They bussed us back to the airport around 1605.”

Interview Experience

“Envoy has been hiring aggressively. Monthly orientations of 30-60 pilots, taking delivery of new E170s and E175s. They're bringing in street FOs, direct entry captains, and cadets. All training is in DFW. If you're in the cadet program you get a guaranteed offer and priority for class dates, which is a solid deal.”
