So if hiring doesn’t increase, you could be stuck on reserve for a while.
Better question is why on earth are you coming here? This is literally the worst place for a new hire right now….
I’m coming because RPA pushed my class out 3 months saying they have too many FOs, they are doing what EDV is doing only with a 3 month delay, small classes. Had a December 6 class that was pushed to March 7.
I also believe with a new agreement for QOL and pay @ Endeavor things may start looking a bit better.
Endeavor is a superior company when it comes to communication with recruits and future pilots. Republic has dropped the ball big time.
Reserve in RPA is 6-10 months at least.
I guess all the regionals are struggling with having FOs right now, I’m just getting my foot at the door where I think there is a better chance of flying more, sooner.
