Endeavor has better schedules. No way to argue it, our schedules could be a lot better here at PDT, tho the february lines were a huge improvement from what I have seen in the past year. Because we dont have longer stage lengths like Endeavor, I'm not sure we can actually build schedules with 18-21 days off without vacation.
Piedmont has a guaranteed position at a legacy, whereas Endeavor does not. I have heard a wide range of stories regarding the success rate of the SSP, maybe a 9E guy/gal can chime in with some accurate numbers.
Piednont's bidding and entire scheduling software is incredibly antiquated. The pilots here can't even log into crewtrac to see their own schedules. The systems could definitely use an overhaul, and our CEO has said it is one of the things he wants to change.
9E has ipads, we dont.
Our premium pay is much higher than 9E's.
Most other things are the same- healthcare, pay, upgrade etc.
Both are great options. Interview with both and go with the one you feel jives better for your lifestyle
