Your union also sold you out in SLI negotiations and fell for Delta's bluff. I wouldn't exactly believe the Kool Aid they are spilling to you about SSPs to newhires.
I worked at Pinnacolaba. I left well before you all voted that ridiculous contract in. I make more at my current carrier on 2nd year pay compared to FO top out at Endeavor Air now.
Air Wis
SkyWest
ExpressJet
Compass
Horizon
Are all hiring. Why would a newbie choose Endeavor Air when these other carriers pay higher and are more stable? Isn't there a ticking clock on 200's being parked?

Don't bother, Slats. Your words will fall on deaf ears and in the end you will be made out to be the bad guy.
