I absolutely agree with taking things with a grain of salt from web forums. I'm trying to figure out how far invested Delta is into Endeavor. The more I read about it the more the signs point to they're pretty serious about it. Some random questions: How many deferred items do you typically see on a can? What kind of health insurance do they offer and is it generally good?

It is rare to find, other than NEF items, yellow stickers on the 900's. Can't speak to the 200's record. As a lifer I can count on one hand with fingers missing the amount of times I have had big ticket items deferred (APU, FMS's Electrical ect.) If there is more than one yellow sticker on any aircraft more times than not they are related subsystems that are affected. Example last (not very productive)4 day trip 8 legs, 5 aircraft one yellow sticker. TCAS inop.

In general, I feel like the further east you go in the system (read NYC flying) the 200's see more (by more I mean compared to planes in the DTW/MSP system) MEL's, simply because it appears that in NYC the mechanics aren't as familiar with some of the more common issues on the 200 as they are with the 900. As they spend more time out east, they should get better at fixing things quickly, but in any case, its not common to get a plane that has anything significant on an MEL anywhere on the 200.

As said, rare to see a 'big' MEL.
Last few I've had were all small thing, cockpit light, NAV light, flap seal.
Aircraft kept in great shape and on site MX are knowledgable and able to fix most minor issues in between turns or overnight. They know planes make money in the skies and it's better to fix now, rather than kick the can down the road.

He said CDO not CNO, there is a difference, and wondering the same thing about the mock. I think it is inaccurate and will show more on the final.

Currently flying around with a deferred APU (200). It broke yesterday and will be fixed by tomorrow AM. This is the first time in probably 6 months that I've had one deferred. Our maintenance is EXTREMELY well run.

I really appreciate all the answers here. I haven't interviewed with them yet, I did interview with Skywest (they did a roadshow and came here locally) but again, I know a lot about Skywest from friends there. Another random question, and this is kind of weird, but Skywest does little things for their people like coupons/vouchers for Turkeys on Thanksgiving and stuff like that. This certainly isn't a deal breaker for Endeavor but I am curious if there's any weird/cool little things like that they have done, just to kind of give the impression they care? Maybe parties etc.?
