I've been asking FO's on my trips. Several are waiting on class dates at JetBlue. They say they don't want to wait 4 yrs for a coin flip at their DGI. By then they'll be making $150k as an FO on the Airbus at JetBlue. Captain upgrade at 5-7yrs making $250k. It's a no brainer and JetBlue is taking our FO's with no turbine PIC time.

I was one that left. Wasn’t going to wait around for a coin flip. I’ll take my chances off the street. Get out of the regionals ASAP.

I chose Spirit. Contractual 75% green days, you can drop to zero if you want, guaranteed 4 days off between trips, decent pay, lots of soft pay, and the most junior awarded CA is at 2 years four months. 100 firm airplanes on order on top of the 40+ we have already on its way. Geez I sound like a recruiter now. lol.

By the way, I think those going in for interviews now will have a much higher chance of getting it given the record or near record amounts that D is going to hire. $0.02

I would honestly expect DGI pass rates to not improve at all and just stay the same. I know 15+ Endeavor pilots getting OTS calls from Delta. I think Delta is still gonna pick who they want.

With Delta being the #1 premiere airline to work for, I highly doubt they will have to resort to the DGI to fill seats. Keep in mind they also have to keep 9E staffed.

Hey , it could be worse and you could be stuck here and sentenced to 26 years here like me 🤪🤪
