And then in 2018 when the C-Series starts to be delivered and the cost of crude is projected to go back up, they speculate they may just furlough excess pilots as the 200s are parked again. Endeavor, while certainly the top-paying flavor of the week, isnt as safe a bet as some think. This industry is a Ferris wheel. Those at the top always come down, and those at the bottom inevitably come up. If you aren't already on property when the good news arrives you're likely already too late.
Not sure who you are talking to at Endeavor but I have never heard this rumor from a single pilot (and I've heard plenty of them). No doubt us pulling out the 200's is only temporary. But, from now on the only regionals that will survive are the ones who can hire.
