While I concede that FO hiring will become a challenge, you can't liken it to the Endeavor situation at all. Their contract was eviscerated in bankrupcy, bought by DAL, voted in a fleet plan that involved a >50% fleet reduction, etc.
Hardly the same situation.
BB parked 140/135s to staff the airline, and this brought him some time. You still have less pilots today, then last month. Endeavor will attract new hires with their bonus, what does republic have.
