For NY FOs(quoting Cujo) Why they should lose short notice OT ability, lose time commuting across the country, lose more money needing a crashpad.... when they can start at Endeavor as a new hire making more money than they do here, stay based close to home with the ability to run in and cherry pick OT to make ends meet, and not need a crashpad.
If you live in the northeast, which a large percentage of NY FOs do, then commuting is just stupid.
It's not about current upgrade time at Endeavor. It's about future. Endeavors shrink is pretty much over while envoy still has to slice in half, again. If I were one of them, I'd want to be at place done shrinking, making more money than they ever would as an FO here.....oh and not commuting halfway across he country on the very carriers that took your flying.
Valid points. You left out that the company and union keep saying that ALL new hires will be going to the 200 which has no NYC base. The exception being our abortion of a LOA that undercuts current pilots and allows new hires to be assigned to the 900 ahead of current 200 pilots. Senority is everything, until the union decides it doesn't matter.
