One thing is for sure, if we keep losing pilots they will have to make some drastic changes to stop the bleeding and/or get people to come here. As bad as this place is I don't think we will be shut down any time soon. They will most likely park more 200's as we lose more people but at some point it's going to create more and more problems. The next year or two with the regionals is going to be very interesting.

A prediction I heard the other day that could create a lot of problems for us and they'll have to address it sooner rather than later is this:
If eagle votes in this TA, pilots will jump ship and run over there.
Guaranteed movement and flow(even if it takes 20 years)
Signing bonus (haven't verified this but heard 20k, 10 first year and 10 the second)
The company and delta better have a plan because we're about to hit v1

Current rhetoric on this point from both the company and ALPA is that signing bonuses are off the table for new hires.

Oops, I misread that. I thought you meant the flow was Eagle's plan, and the bonus was 9E's. Sorry.

I see how it was confusing but if eagle signs this: eagle will have new airplanes, flow and signing bonus for new hires. Pilots will chase airplanes and movement and this will be a disaster for 9E. Look at the guys that jumped to compass, this will be worse.

Why do you think the company put out the bribe money that cost them 2/3rd of what was given up first year and saved them many times over beyond? They bought that 85% for less than 1/15th of what we gave up in pay alone.

I'm well aware of that fact. What most people on the outside don't realize is that Pinnacle was a terrible place to work, and the bankruptcy made it even worse. With no up-grade in sight a lot of FO's were making lateral moves. Most of them just voted for the money, nothing else

Endeavor (9E) interviews and offers?
 
In the past 3-5 years what regional was upgrading. You guys make it seem like 9E was the only dead airline.

What airlines are upgrading TODAY?!?!

Crap!!! It's bad everywhere!!! Real talk...

Most people voted this POS contract just to survive another day...now that's the truth.

None because none can replace the FO's... this segment brought it on itself by choking the golden goose to death...

Are you kidding me, how many FO's left for Compass because of forecast movement? Up until recently almost all the people leaving were FO's. In fact, our seniority list has dropped by roughly a third. I agree that many voted yes just to survive another day. Delta played their hand well.

Compass is upgrading 8-12 per month and has been for months now.

There are at least 120 captains leaving endeavor this year, that's the smallest number. Next year there will be at least 160 leaving. That's almost 300 right there by the end of 2015. Add another 160 in 2016, 2017 and even more after that as our quota increases after 2017. Is it going to be lightning fast? No but keep in mind that we are keeping most 200's until the end of 2015 and accepting 20 more 900s so that will require more captains initially. You guys are basing all your predictions on past results, which doesn't always lead to future results. hiring is an issue right now for sure, but if they want people to come they will find a way to do it, if not, they will continue to shrink us to where they want us but that doesn't mean all doom and gloom. if people have other opportunities they should always take them but leaving for another regional right now would not be a good idea in my opinion.

No, I never mentioned anything about shutting the place down. In fact it's been noted many times on here that Delta needs 9E around to help with the whipsaw action. All that's been said is that they will be in a world of hurt when it comes to hiring since no one wants to work there for good reason. And anyone who thinks upgrades for the 6 year FOs is right around the corner is crazy.
And my decision to leave 9E six months ago to go to another regional with massive growth was the best career decision I have ever made. I was a 6 year FO at 9E (no upgrade in sight and never had the opportunity to upgrade) and some of my buddies that left to do the same thing all say the same thing...best career move (aside from getting picked from a major) they could have made.
