Not sure how many, we are pretty full. But, there is some “read between the lines” here.
 
What lines are you reading between? I was never good in English class and need all the help I can get.

How hard and fast is the rule requiring a drivers license? For various reasons, I've never learned how.

The Envoy SOC like most dispatch offices isnt walkable from accomodations that a new Envoy dispatcher can afford. DFW area in general isnt walkable. Ubers and instacart add up on regional on a regional wage.

As a junior dispatcher at a regional, you will likely have little to no control over your schedule and will get stuck with shifts that are difficult to get to and from without a car. 3AM and 4AM starts are common.

This job is very difficult if you cant drive and dont have a car.
 
I’m currently at a 135/125 that’s like mega chill about everything. I’m guessing this is not the case at regionals?

Unless you work for Jetblue in NYC where you can get to their office reliably by public transport or walking as well as live locally without a car, most airlines whether regional or major will be tough without a car.

At least here in DFW area, there are very few AA, SWA or ENY dispatchers that dont have a car and dont drive themselves to work.

Its probably rare for the hiring people at any of the DFW airlines to see a candidate without a drivers license. It doesnt mean you cant get hired. But at all three it is likely to generate questions of how you will get to work and how reliable you will be. Attendance and punctuality are kind of a big thing in the airline world.

Its not impossible to do the job and not drive but there will be big sacrifices needed to make it work.
 
I do have to say that there are places to rent and possibly have roomates at SKW. Take a look at where the headquarters are on google maps in relation to apartment complexes. and rental homes.
 
Just heard there will be two classes this spring for Envoy. Come join us so we can move up and n seniority (Oh and learn Flight Keys and who is really going to AA and WN).
I've had two interviews in the past and just applied again. Two classes? That's promising. Do you have someone on the inside or is this just rumor? Either way, I'm hopeful I get an offer this time.
 
It's important to know that Envoy pays the least out of all the regionals, and while they are currently in negotiations the company just proposed a pay cut. (And they already make less than crew scheduling)

This kind of anti-union behavior is par for the course with Envoy. They have gotten away with it for so long because they are the fast-track to AA, but more and more people are feeling stuck at Envoy, and want reasonable pay. And pretty soon, the fast-track to AA won't be worth it anymore.
