The same rumor mill that the 700's coming came from. You heard it on the interwebs, therefor it must be true.

Watch for the announcement, it's coming.


If you're going to make stuff up, may as well go big.
A recruiting capt and I got really bored on a four day and that's the best rumor we could come up with. I've gotten a couple flight attendants to bite, but I'm eagerly waiting To get a pilot on the hook for that one...

I look forward to having someone on the line tell me about the great rumor they heard and then telling me that. I combined multiple cowpies I've heard to come up with that huge pile o' BS.

I still keep in touch with some Endeavor FA. They keep telling me that Endeavor will be getting the 700's from Republic. Since it's from a FA, it must be true.

It really wasn't a rumor that Endeavor was looking into what it would take to fly 700's. The company said they were on the table and looking into what it would take to fly them. They had/have their hands full with the 200's but the 700's were more than just a rumor. They probably won't be coming anytime soon but there was some truth to it.

Haha, but I won't believe anything until I see it sitting at the gate with Endeavor under the cockpit window.

It's more than that. It was announced in one of the newsletters that's on our website that they had started a program to update our manuals and maintenance to bring 700s on. I forget which one it was, I think it was a tech ops a couple months ago. Any 9e employee can read it for themselves.

It was January's Tech Ops memo I believe.

If you ask a mechanic they are pretty specific as to where the -700's are coming from. Still rumor but probably a more reliable source than most.

Like was said previously, I'll believe it when it's at a gate with an Endeavor sticker on the nose.

This is true, read it myself. I listened to RE recently, and he had some interesting things to say. The bottom line is Delta has noticed Endeavor's performance and customer service numbers and you can fill in the blanks. Management was really open about addressing any questions and rumors. Most placid/happy management visit I've ever seen. It was nice.

PS I have to say I respect RE and RG for standing in front of the pilot group and taking flak in the early days. Much different now, in a good way.

I have it from a good source that it came from the CP. The company is putting together a proposal as to when and how much cost involved in standing up a training section for the 700. Nothing definitive to date, of course.
