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.

The latest vacancy had 70 FO openings, every single one in NY. I don't think it would be out of the realm of possibility that people will have to spend at least one or two vacancies (3-6 months) in NY.

I see that now. Forgot about the 900's. In any case, movement should be fast if someone wants another base

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.

Today's FLG3570 brings one more -200 into service. Ship 8836.

I'm wondering what upgrade will be down the line. Me and other R-ATP guys might end up having to bypass due to being short of the 2500 if it goes at this rate.

Thanks so much for the response! I would be commuting out of CLT. I think DTW has the most flights to CLT between all the bases.

We do at least some of the DTW-CLT flying and of course there's jumpseating on AA... You ought to be alright.

Between Delta and American there is a lot of flying between Charlotte and New York (more LGA than JFK, but still plenty of JFK also). I recently flew with a guy who does that commute and says it's very easy.
