Yes, NYC. I could hold any base I want at this point, but I generally get the schedule I want and it is good for my commute from DFW.
The first DGI people just started interviewing last year. There has been a hiring slow down at Delta, SWA, and FedEx recently, but that doesn't change the fact that the top 400 or so of our seniority list are lifers, that we hired for a bunch of growth that didn't happen, and this new growth isn't nearly what was forecasted before. The DGI hiring rate is hovering around 50% or less, last time I checked, and Delta insists on hiring high schoolers with Propel.
To give you some perspective on how quickly it stopped, they were still hiring street captains when I was hired in 2018. I am senior to the most junior captain at 9e, but he was hired a few weeks after me as a street captain.
Work rules, pay, maintenance, etc are all top notch at Endeavor. Career progression is non-existent.
