4) Possibly faster upgrade to captain
Minuses
1) Driving to LGA (from South shore eastern Long Island)
2) Quality of life not as good as 2 others?
Endeavor
Pluses
1)
2) Driving to JFK after a little seniority
3) 2 1/2 call out to JFK better than LGA
4) Highest pay for regional, at least that’s what they say
5) Good quality of life
6) CRJ 900
7)
Minuses
1) Possibly longer reserve times
2) Possibly longer upgrade to captain
3. Delta interview
4. NYC codomocile
Republic
1) Possibly shorter reserve time
2) Not sitting in the airport on reserve all day
3) No junior manning
4) E175
5) Good quality of life
6) Better Pilot contract?
Minuses
1) 2 hour call out
2) Driving to LGA
3) Possibly longer upgrade to captain
#5 at Republic needs HIGHER consideration
Ask Envoy Pilots how much their minimum trip guarantee is for a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 day trip vs Republic & Endeavor.
Example: You get called out to fly LGA - BOS, layover, then the next day fly back BOS- LGA and you are done. At Republic, you'll get credited approx 8.5 hrs for that trip.....
Fixed it for you by moving the Delta interview to a con. The failure rate of the DGI is over 50%, less than 25% of Endeavor pilots go to Delta based on the last year of attrition data. I also moved the "LGA and JFK bases" to a con for codomocile. You have to cover both airports and they only give a $50 stipend to do so. There is no shuttle any more. Enjoy that one can ride!
If you want to come to Endeavor to sit a long reserve in an NYC codomocile, have fun. Just don't come here for a fast upgrade or the delusion that we offer a good path to Delta.
