At least another 48 will go this year (assuming hiring every month, not including if PDT hits staffing levels to move up to 5/month).
I didn't think Endeavor was a flow, just a preferential interview. At current flow levels i will be here another two years at pdt.. if we get to seven a month by year end, I'm out of here in a less than 1.5 years from now... i came at the right time, 2 years ago. I got into one of the first classes before they really started hiring. I am 40 percent up the seniority list in 2 years and have a insured job progression. I bought what the recruiters sold me and luckily every word they told me has come true.
With soft money and some extra overtime work, dash 8 retention bonus, fo retention bonus and throw in a pilot recruitment bonus and I will be close to 80k this year as an FO of a turbo prop. Plus, I always have at least 15 days off a month.... as frustrating as this company and job can be, I'm quite content right now.
I do hear good things about Endeavor though.
