Less OE captains was caused more by the fact that a large percentage of 200 LCA's were in MSP. When the MSP 200 base closed, they went to MSP9 rather than another base.

Good point - why 200 MSP closed I still do not understand. The amount of 200s I see in MSP hasn’t shrunk far as I can tell - they just say SKYW now.

Agree with what has been said regarding smaller fleet size and less LCA, however I think put 85% of the new hire classes this spring into the 200 has been a large contributer. I’ve enjoyed my paid vacay except for having to wait to get the pay bump until
after OE is completed

Because many of the markets out of MSP are EAS and at risk flying that SkyWest is willing to do but Delta will not allow us to do. The final straw to our MSP 200 base was Delta's continued reductions in distance that they allow the plane to fly. When the distance was reduced below the distance to CVG, it cut off the pathway to move planes and crews into the rest of our system. There wasn't enough flying left in MSP to justify keeping a base there with SkyWest there too. While there are upsides to being a wholly owned, one of the big downsides is we get stuck with all the flying nobody else wants (New York, ATL... you know the places with the most IROPS and biggest likelihood for schedule disruptions.)

Phone Interview
 

I have a phone interview this Friday w/ Endeavor. I applied with 1080hrs and currently have just over 1100TT...I need 1500 for ATP (I don't qualify for the lower ATP mins..) I have 900hrs MEL, though that doesn't seem to matter w/ regionals.



Being 400hrs short of ATP, I'm not sure what to expect on this phone call.



Any thoughts?

CJO’s are good for 6 months from what I can recall. Not that you’ll get a CJO over the phone. Probably schedule the real interview for when you’re closer to mins.

Expect a conversation about why you'd like to work for Endeavor; what you've done so far and where you want to be in the future

“I like Delta. I want to be Delta. Please turn me into sky god like Delta.”

**Alright put ‘er their Billy you’re hired!!**

Telling an employer what they want to hear is hardly unique to Endeavor or Delta. Say much to the contrary and it’s likely to be a short phone call...

All jokes aside. Kinda legit what they’re looking for.


But as a real answer. They’ll ask you why you want to be here; what you’ve been doing as is recent, what you like about flying and aviation and what got you in. Basically the first part of most interviews.
