The union said that the displacement word has not been used since early in talks about opening the 200 bases in NYC, and they don't foresee the company making such a poor choice. Management said after the NYC bases are filled they hope to recapture some flying in DTW and MSP. It was mentioned that there have been hints about a southern base from Delta, but nothing more than hints. Hiring still continues, with over 50 in December classes and 63 in January classes. Negotiations with the company about rolling the bonus into pay rate with Delta wanting the end result to be Endeavor being the highest paid regional pilots across the board.
More planes, best pay, good hiring, quick upgrades, rumors of new base, company preparing for new equipment when it comes available... Do you need a little Abilify?
