Thinking about coming to Endeavor. I live in Detroit, so thats obviously the base I'm interested in, but I thought it may be useful info for everyone else on here too. What are the current base seniority hire dates for first officers and captains? Also, how long are new guys sitting reserve in each of the bases? How is this expected to change after adding all the new airplanes? Are there guys waiting to get into the ATL base from other bases?

Thanks, UNDGUY

 

The only bases pilots are NOT waiting to get into are LGA and JFK.

 

If you want Detroit right away look at Skywest. Their pay sucks and they'll work you hard, but you'd be home

 

Plan on getting new york if you come here or maybe atlanta. FWIW, Detroit to atlanta from word of mouth probably one of the hardest commutes in the country. If not the hardest. If hou desire home base out training go to skywest. Detroit is obtainable here unlike Minneapolis but it’ll be at minimum 6-8 monthes after training, maybe longer.

These numbers are based on the November mock and the reserve cutoff could change slightly, but it's pretty close. Also there are a few relatively senior that bid reserve intentionally but the likely reason they do is probably going to end in January (see the other threads) so I am discounting that as well as a random CDO line out of place.

Bottom line holder/ bottom pilot (company seniority)

ATL 200
CA 923/1398
FO 1489/1649

ATL 900
CA 309/982
FO 1157/1668

DTW 200
CA 678/996
FO 1587/1647

DTW 900
CA 357/985
FO 1291/1658

JFK 200
CA 866/1326
FO 1594/1676

JFK 900
CA 896/1439
FO 1462/1750

LGA 200
CA 905/1261
FO 1648/1675

LGA 900
CA 871/1407
FO 1546/1760

MSP 200
CA 497/665
FO 1428/1639

MSP 900
CA 164/520
FO 1221/1688

Keep in mind MSP 200 base is closing, word is the closing bid posts early November... That's a lot of senior pilots being forced to move and that will shake things up a lot probably.

 

15 month fo friend of mine in DTW is still on reserve. Just FYI. Might get a line next month. He's on the Fringe

Guessing he is on the -900?

 

The guy wanted hire dates, the seniority numbers don’t mean anything to him since he doesn’t work here.

 

Thanks for all the good info. I definitely do not want to go to Expressjet or Gojet, so I guess that narrows it down to Skywest if I want home basing. I'm prior 121 so I could start at fourth year pay and get the 7500 dollar bonus which makes the pay a little more bearable. Actually, Skywest's pay isn't bad compared to others if you disregard bonuses. They also have better work rules than most carriers and seem to be a very good company to work for. I'm also considering a Chicago commute for Envoy or Air Wisconsin. Any thoughts on either of those?
