So you're saying you don't even work at endeavor but you're now an expert on Delta's wholly owned.....oookkkk....I still don't understand how the end of the regional model means a new hire today will be jobless in a year. You also neglect the fact that regionals are still cheaper than mainline flying right now. Labor is still cheaper, and fuel is much cheaper.

 

He's a PSA pilot.

Embarrassed his company can't recruit.

If you have a problem with our recruiters go to Endeavor Human Resources or call Atlanta. Aside from that, move along. Clown.

 

If you worked at Endeavor you could answer your own questions and post numbers. Don't try to act like an expert by saying buzz words like pre-bankruptcy and SSP.

Most likely this is a disgruntled ex-9E pilot who has since moved to PSA and still can't get over the fact that this place is actually a decent place to work now.

 

The lifers I refer to are those with few years remaining before retirement. My knowledge of the top of the 9E seniority list is now more than a year old, but I suspect that most of those at the top are still there. Those are the ones I am referring to. Please feel free to post some facts and submit the current 9E seniority list so that new hires can see just how many lifers there are occupying all the potential captain positions, especially after the fleet starts shrinking again next year as the C Series begins to take flying back from endeavor to Delta.

I absolutely agree with you, it is the best thing for you, me, and everyone else with more than 5 years remaining before retirement that Delta brings regional flying back to the mainline certificate. And as you pointed out, increased retirements, along with reduced military separation, means a greater percentage of pilots will come from the civilian world than previously experienced. Also you make a good point that being a regional captain is and will be less important for getting hired at a major than it previously was. However, new hires should not be misinformed that upgrades will continue to come fast at 9E. My opinon is that the will not.

In addition, the "Delta Interview" promoted by 9E recruiters requires upgrading at 9E and then spending another 2 years as a captain with a good record before being eligible to interview. My opinion is that a Delta interview can be had just as easily by going to any other regional and therefore not worth considering when chosing a career path, unlike the lifes and recruiters on here would like you to believe.

My opinion is that keeping your training record clean, getting your friends already hired to give you recommendations, upgrading when you can, working in the training dept or management, getting an advanced degree, volunteering in your community, and etc are the keys to getting hired at a mainline. NOT going to any particular regional.

 

quite a few guys in upgrade that were successful SSP guys.

 

Did work at endeavor. Still follow the industry closely. Had your recruiters not decided to post 9E lies on the PSA forum I would not have commented.

Please feel free to back up any "facts" your recruiters or lifers have posted. I have only expressed my opinion.

 

OK where is your proof of Endeavor recruiters posting lies?? Let's see it Mr. Richard.

PSA pilot who is butt hurt...I should have figured.

 

I am HAPPY our recruiters cannot attract anyone to fly at my current regional. I hope that happens everywhere soon. I have regularly expressed my opinion about my current employer on the appropriate thread, and have encouraged the fos I fly with to do what is in their best interest. I clearly stated here a few posts ago that I believe it is the end time for all regionals and I wish that to come sooner rather than later. My problem and reasoning for posting here is that I see lies about 9E posted on PSA's thread in an attempt to get new hires to 9E.

I do not advocate any new hire chose one particular regional over another. I DO advocate that new hires be given truthful information to base their career decisions on and not the biased lies that lifers and recruiters want to perpetuate on this forum to achieve their own agenda. To that end, if you would like to help new hires by posting the true number of hundreds of pilots who have failed to goto delta with their guaranteed interview and pay scales after the bonuses end so that new hires can have factual information to base their career decisions on it would be much appreciated.

 

Look under the PSA Info Thread. You'll see plenty of 9E lifer/recruitment posts, especially with a green tractor avatar, spreading recruitment lies.

Again instead of avoiding my questions and trying the smear campaign tactic, show some facts. I'll start, FACT I never said who I work for currently or advocated for any new hires to go anywhere in particular.

You're up. How many captains and fo's were denied employment by Delta after their guaranteed interview? How many of them will retire in the next 10 years and not be going anywhere? How many planes will 9E park when Delta brings the regional routes back to mainline when the C Series orders being delivery in 2017? When the retention bonuses expire will 9E compensation return to the current contract's industry worst rates?
