Its the regional shuffle. And its never going to end.
What a great industry we're in! A Delta pilot once told me years ago that it's a great job in a crappy industry!

My reply was to ONE endeavor pilot to begin with. Then y'all got upset. He may be new to the game and all I did was point out his new flying was someone else's loss... End of story! Still glad you guys made it out alive! You never know with Delta.....

To be fair, myself, along with other at ExpressJet, didn't rejoice to get 9E flying. I personally didn't want any of it, and would have preferred it went back to mainline. But if Delta is shuffling it, I'd rather have the flying go to us than to GoJet.

Certainly. I think I shows a change when flying is being pulled from the lowest bidder to a carrier that pays their pilots more. I don't want to see anybody out of a job or on the street, I haven't come across any pilots who are excited about prospective jets from anybody else- theyve all been through it themselves,

You are correct, It wasn't my intention to paint with such a broad brush.


The conversation is moot. It's all rumors. I think the AWAC/DAL deal is indicative to us all to not believe anything until its sitting on the ramp.

Has upgrade started to drop at 9E? All the shiny ads on this site keep touting 30 months (2 yrs). With you guys filling classes each month (from what I hear). Will upgrade times continue to plummet, in the next 2-3 yrs if the music doesn't stop. Or slowly start to rise, the fatter that you guys get with pilots. Or do you guys have a lot of attrition, helping to keep movement steady?

Lots of movement going on. I have a buddy who was hired in March last year and he is around 180 away from upgrade. He will probably upgrade late this year or beginning of next year! If more airplanes come out of the desert or where ever then even faster! Company posted a projected 350 upgrades this year. And we have upgraded 75 I think thus far. Anyone else wanna chime in if I've miss spoke?

Cool thanks for the reply. Hopefully the growth/upgrades can continue for another 2-3 more years. Before stagnation starts to occur. Also what's this I read about SKYW & XJT getting some of 9E's flying?

I think that's old or a rumor. I haven't heard of anything of the sort. We are hiring 60+ a month and our recruiting team is killing it. They are really doing a great job getting people in the door and in class. January had 53 I think February and March are at 60 is my understanding. Delta is not afraid to throw money here to get the people in the doors. Our performance numbers are super solid and we are delivering vary well for delta. And delta has recognized us as the gold star standard for regionals!! Crazy to think this place was in BK a few years ago! The guys/gals and crews here are awesome overall. I'm glad to see things finally turning around.

Things can only get better recruitment wise, when the Cadet pipeline is up and running. Awaiting details for that program.
