I would say that at least half will come from pilots already on property. Plus there will still be attrition from the other bases. Long winded answer, but I don't think they're going to put everybody in New York. I wish you the best of luck wherever you decide to go
Thanks for the reply. Even if it means a stint in NYC I'm thinking Endeavor is the way to go for me at least. I'm in my early 30s so I hopefully won't be at the very bottom of the class seniority either which may help land a spot in DTW or MSP.

What is commuting like on reserve at Endeavor? Do you usually have to commute in the night before your first reserve day and same for the last day. I am very interested in Endeavor and trying to weigh the negatives of commuting especially on reserve.

Depends on your commute. You need two flights that get you in by your start time plus call out time. For P2, you start at 10am and DTW has a 1:45 call out so I have to have two flights that land by 1145am to cover myself with call in honest. If you get the morning shift, yes you'll have to come in night before. The good thing is that you're released early on your last day of reserve, so most of the time you can catch a flight home on the last day. My airport has a 6am out and a 10pm home so I'm pretty good for same day commuting. If your in a hub or smaller airport with only 1 or 2 flights then it could get rough but still doable.
