How do you figure about them losing the lines in Feb? There's another 20+ guys transferring in Feb (vacancy 6) below the guys that are on the bottom in January (vacancy 5).

Heck I'm moving up 40 slots or so in DTW by Feb 1, after having been in roughly the same spot for 7 months.

That means the junior line holder gets pushed down, likely back to reserve. Now I’m sure if that happens, It won’t be long to get a line again, but it is likely they will be back to reserve for a month or so.

20-01 will be very telling. And hopefully attrition stays up as well.

Hi there, new here. Any updates on reserve times for new hires? How much do you fly per month on reserve currently?

I know this changes but I'm about 4 months out from RATP mins and Endeavor was one of my top choices to apply to.

Thanks!

I have read about the difficulties of DGI, but the other 'flows' are 6-9 years from what I read as well so I think if that is the case I'd rather jump over to a LCC but I'm trying not to get ahead of myself here.

The reasons I am interested are because Endeavor seems to have a good commuter policy in place, slightly higher pay than others and the working relationship between the company and pilots seems to be good as well (just from reading pilot's experiences with crew scheduling etc. on forums, so that might not be saying much) If I'm wrong let me know!
