If anyone is saying EDV pilots DH in first class, that is inaccurate.
Since when is MSP-ATL greater than 3.5 hours?
Endeavor pilots rarely get first or business because of two things. 1) how often do you have deadheads > 3.5 hours? 2) when you do, how many pilots even realize they should be bumped up?
When the company was sending pilots to Belgium for CRJ900 training many, many pilots rode first or business. I distinctly remember the company trying to wiggle out of it.
