It's a two way street, don't assume Endeavor is a guaranteed fail. Get your PIC and get out of here as soon as you can. That is all I can suggest.
Preemptive? They are the worst at preemptive moves. We are already well behind on the upgrades and new hires due to their decisions. This one was probably made later than it should have been too.
I want the koolaid you're drinking. Skywest is in a worse position than Compass with all their non-76 seat airplanes waiting to get parked. The only way Skywest pilots will be insulated from that is if they park Expressjet and ASA planes at an abnormal rate and give their 76-seat replacements to the Skywest pilots. Until you become a 76-seat fleet, you are at risk to feel the regional shrinkage going on.
I answered the question that was asked, and it's the truth. SkyWest has a better pay scale & Compass (for now) has a shorter upgrade time. No one knows what the future holds no, not even you do. Perhaps you don't know what the term "kool aid" implies...sir.
