Any "Latest & Greatest" about Endeavor?

Perhaps on the 200, but hardly any 900 captains will bid to the 200 even if it means no more commute (or a much easier one to RDU or ATL)

Sounds about right. Every captain I've talked to on the 900 wouldn't leave it if we re open ATL or open RDU as a 200 base. FO's maybe idk but the CA's I talked to would rather wait to see if a 900 base in the south opens up. I'm sure there would be some guys that would bid the 200 for a southern base but most guys seem comfortable on the 900.

Funny thing is the original program after the SSP would of been the best program in the industry and people couldn't say enough bad things about it. It would of beat any of the AA programs hands down - too bad people didn't bite back then. Guaranteed job at Delta, 300 a year, those guys that went through the program will be at Delta sometime next year and it would of been much quicker if the program would of stuck because the 300 went down to 144.
If you were qualified and competitive to apply to Delta, why would you apply to Endeavor with a then $25/hr to start and $37 max FO pay that then required you to be a captain 2 years (when we had 9 year FO's) to go to Delta???
Wendy the Slow Adult, could see through that one...

Yes, one with a shot at a meal and generally less legs per day and a bigger variety of overnights... and less pilot workload to fly, most of the lifers would. Keep in mind 90% of MSP guys live within 50 miles of MSP.. they wouldn't commute to fly a B747 or they'd have done so a long time ago.

you mean the 2 or 3 of the 14 that actually were hired in that ETD program? It failed because Delta refused to hire ( or even interview) anyone that they wouldn't have hired for themselves that day. We had a flood of resumes when that program was announced.. Delta rejected 96% without an interview offer... then it was a coin flip for a job offer. It was basically career military ( I think 2 were charter guys the rest MIL) that had moved to desks or drones and weren't flight current... they got current and left rather than wait the years for Delta.

You must be mistaken in who I am, and I can assure you, I've been flying with several more negative than I lately as the tune at this place has shifted over the last year. Don't choke on that Big Apple.
