Any "Latest & Greatest" about Endeavor?

Yup, I commuted for a bit. Most of the time DTW-LGA was simple, the rest of the time it was impossible without getting a positive space from scheduling. But that was winter off season. I couldn't wait to get back to living in base, even though it meant another year of reserve. I was still home more than commuting to LGA. Thanks to the results of 16-03, I'll probably be back on reserve again... with still no interest in bidding to New York for a line.... Now, a return to the 200 in DTW hasn't been ruled out. (unfortunately it doesn't appear that there will be any DTW or MSP captain vacancies anytime soon)

Meh, I saw a crew (mostly captain) arguing with a red coat to let them into the SIDA area and the red coat wouldn't do it. Was making some ridiculous argument, but you bet I made sure I got that door closed before I left. I've seen their base management let them into the hallway, seems like that's their best route to get in.
As per DTW PD the Skywest crew member has to be in uniform and only another Skywest crew member or management type can piggyback them in or out.

Commuter policy only applies for commuting from the nearest airline served airport to your base, not if you are stuck on vacation. If you live in Munich and that is where your home address is on file with the company you are good, if you live in Omaha and are just checking out Octoberfest, you are on your own.

16-3 final award shows company reduced their hour requirements by 28% to meet the remaining vacancies; very interesting. 680 company hours and roughly 1700 TT was the bottom of the barrel this time around, what's next?

1700 total hrs to be a CA is pretty mind-blowing.

Sure, but you still have to have 1000 121 SIC. Which, considering you basically need 1000 to step foot in the 121 game at a minimum, the total time requirement isn't really even a big deal at this point, it's the company time that's the obstacle for people.

What will they, in the speculative world, do when that will no longer suffice the need for captains? Park planes, street captain hiring from an empty pool, or create a flow and monopolize the regional market?
