Growth, whatever... If you look at the total count of airframes in the regional landscape its decreasing. And it will be further decreasing over time. An exchange is being made for larger jets for over 50 seat lift. And it's not a one to one exchange. Also there aren't many left to hand out do to mainline scope constraints. If I was looking to apply at at regional these days I'd look at one with zero or a few 50 seat planes. Just my humble opinion

That's assuming they meet the 1,000 hours of part 121/135 experience. Who is making lateral moves with that kind of experience now?

I agree. All 3 majors have said they plan to decrease 50 seat lift sooner than later. Why do you think Skywest continues to beef up their 76 seat lift? Very smart IMO.

You've been here posting on this thread more than people who even work here and you still have to ask these questions? Endeavor went from losing 60 people a month, with an unknown SSP FO program to a company who is handing out 20K bonuses and sending 420 people to Delta in the next 28 months (most of who will be FO's). Not to mention 70 upgrades just awarded for this fall. I might be drinking a bit too much of the Kool-Aid but what other company can offer that? If you have to play the regional game Endeavor seems as good, if not better than most of the players.

Ya, his post would've made more sense 2 years ago. Seems a bit out of the loop now.

How on earth have you managed that?

To answer the original question, it just depends... it's not a set policy like CommutAir has wherein you get a certain number of paid commuting hotels per month, but I have had situations where I I offered to pick up a trip if they would positive space me from home and put me in a hotel by the airport... it all just depends on how desperate they really are!

Don't worry, ShyGuy is just a Class-A d-bagg. Everyone from Pinnacle knows his real name.

He tries to be tough hiding behind his screen name, but when I call him by his real name he gets all bent out of shape and gets his buddy the Moderator to contact me with an infraction message.

Just because he went to Virgin America he thinks he has the right to come on here and bash all of our career choices.

Isn't that right Dancer? You still hang out by the elevator down to the DTW crew room in your spiffy Banana Republic uniform hoping that people you know will notice you and actually want to talk to you?

Get a life dude, you are the epitome of internet troll.

Also, the only person I have ever seen, who made a "Good Bye" post on Airlink Pilots, that added a bunch of pictures of the Airbus. Instead of just saying "Good Bye, I'm going to xyz Airlines" and so on like everyone else. I'm glad he cleared up the confusion by showing us what an Airbus looked like.

Why would anyone choose *insert airline* ....I'll use your logic, because we all "know a guy" I know a guy who lives in NY who choose Endeavor over Compass, so he didn't have to commute to MSP or LAX. I'm sure commuting from.JFK to LAX so he can sit reserve sounds awesome. I guess upgrade time means everything. Isn't that how you got on with VA or the FO's at 9E who has the CJO from Delta. The PIC time was the key huh?

Difference is you just know a name not the person. I never knew a JP from Colgan. Period. You must have missed me from your TUL commute. I was giving out autographs. Oh well, better luck next time.

Silver, I got the idea from the MSP CA who went to EK and put a pic. That was all. Did a pic hurt so much? It was still simple enough. But some just need something - anything - to pounce.

And look, it's the same 4 pilots who respond in anger. What I said wasn't too much a stretch. Compass et al offer a quicker advancement and perhaps a better opportunity for the next step. No reason to be a used car dealer salesman here.
