Appreciate that, I guess it is more doable than I thought using public transit. Thank you!

Can a current pilot at Endeavor PM me? I am interested and have questions about QOL, culture at the company, life on the road (duty times, hotels, rest periods etc) , the schedule (commutable?, time on reserve? time to upgrade?), commuting and basing in New York (are pilots based in NYC or based at LGA or JFK only?) . I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

are new hires sitting ready reserve until holding a line? If so is this every day or only a couple days out of a four and five day rotation?
also what is the most junior base? how long is to hold a line in a junior base?

It's all perspective. I'm glad flying is shifting to NY and so are a lot of people who are in the NY area. We are getting a lot of new hires from NY as well.

All the expansion is in NYC right now, so you can probably expect those reserve times to drop. I was one of a couple in my class to get sent to NY, but the last few classes have been almost entirely sent to LGA or JFK.
The max amount of days they can put you on reserve is six consecutive, and you have to allow that through a PBS option.

That's great, but when prospective new hires from anywhere but the NE look at where they want to work, being told they have to commute to NYC versus being at Skywest from day 1 in DTW or MSP, it's not going to help our recruiting, that is already hampered by having not so choice bases. And the whole ponzi scheme of a regional only works when you get new hires in the door.

Fair enough, I suppose. I'm starting to think I perhaps made the wrong choice, seeing how it looks as if DTW and MSP are going to shrink.
