A really bitter dude who only cares about himself.

Then I see MvA get the finger and I just shake my head...

With that said, I do agree that all HR departments have a few slip through the cracks, and DL has done a decent job weeding out most of the losers, as stated above. It's just so hard to see so many good guys get rejected and some real tools get accepted...

ice fishing.
"If that dang Minnesota Nice guy shows me another dang picture
of his ice shack, I'll kill him.

This is a place to apply ONLY if you want to be a welfare qualifying pilot based in New York.

You know how excited pilots get talking about west coast bases? Take that enthusiasm X 10 and that's how he sounded about Endeavor growing in NYC.

You would be better off applying to Skywest or Compass if your ultimate goal is to be MSP based. Endeavor for the majority of it's history has been based in MSP and has favored hiring local talent. There are many pilots trying to get back to MSP. Here's an example a 11 year pilot will hold a reserve MSP 900 CA, but can hold in the top 20 lines at LGA 900 CA.

Yeah I was referring to former XJ. If you're 9E or 9L a 8 year guy will hold better.

Better 900 FO ;)

I just came to the realization that the award was pretty high on the "sucks-for-me" scale. The XJ protected 900 seats get my buddies approximately 50 away from alternate CA (1253 being current lowest alternate). I am junior to my friends by a bit, maybe 100 numbers, but I have to make it all the way to mid-1000 seniority for a 200 CA slot.

That being said, when life gives lemons, make lemonade (well that's all we can afford anymore haha), and I'm content flying with folks that make a 4-day enjoyable, regardless of pre-merger company.

And, in mid-2016 the fences come down!!! Woo!!!
