With the new adjustments, 9E pilots will avg around 56k first year when you factor in all the bonuses, per diems, etc. Fly above average and you'll be pushing north of 60k. That's far and above the industry average, and well above RJets offering.
Good luck with your decision!
Endeavor has major stagnation at the top level. Some were awarded a cherry sweet seniority number, and have no intention moving on, and I don't blame them. There should be some movement, but most are in it for the long run. Basically we need more airframes to make this place worth it. Again...reserve IS NOT A CHOICE! Not when bills have to be paid. JAN Mock bid out ...eleven year guy still six numbers from a line. Don't sugar coat it,.this place is still a sh!t show.
