First off, let me extend a heartfelt apology to all of you gone pilots. No one wants to see what is happening actually go down. Here’s hoping for a last-minute Hail Mary like AWAC had.
Just wanted to chime in on the ASA 50 seaters coming here to EDV... not true. We took 4, but that is all we will take. Maintenance costs to get them to standard have proven too high. EDV is now scheduled to get 900s & 700s this coming year, no more 200s.

Also consider Endeavor has opened and closed ATL before and their ATL base is probably going senior. Our future is very questionable at ASA and ATL CA or FO is the most senior and fastest shrinking base at our company. Just do yourself a favor and do your homework before you make a decision.
Not sure what you mean by “interesting conditions”. Endeavor has about the best bonuses in the industry, in that they are for everyone on property, not just new hires (currently $10K for new hires, and $23K for everyone else after first year).
That being said, we are about to vote on a new TA that will roll those bonuses into the highest pay rates, provided it passes. Over $50 per hour for a new hire, on top of the $10-20k bonus. Head over to the EDV threads to read more.
