So I would like know what are the actually salaries
If he joins Envoy now he will be a captain in 2 years or less. There was very little hiring done after the current group of captain upgrades going through now, so the date of hire to captain will drop like a rock.
If he's single like you say tell him to man up and do the necessary evil of a wholly owned regional. First year pay is about 60k.
If he tries to stay the corporate route thinking that pic time will get him picked up by a major, then he will watch everyone else that joined a wholly owned pass him by into a mainline legacy. Just tell him to look at the numbers, AA's classes are 70-75% wholly owned flow throughs and almost all of the remainder is military.
