Ok, so nothing really new. Someone is buying Compass "maybe"?
Republic might get Gojets or Skywest Inc's Crj's? We're getting 175's sometime?
Delta is scoped out. To get a new plane someone has to park another.
I assume Compass and Gojets will be standing when the music stops?

So... so much for people telling me to go to EDV over RPA for the DGI?

If I had to describe them in four letters or less, Compass would be lolz (beacause they're funny) and GoJet would be zzz (because GoJet)...

Basically.... Though it doesn't say everyone gets an interview. Only the highly qualified, whereas everyone here gets a guaranteed interview.

Still though.....

People have some reading comprehension issues here. This is not a DGI, a flow, or a guaranteed interview. Nothing. It says that DCI carriers other than endeavor will have a minimum amount of apps from their pilots taken and scored, those who score high enough will be given interviews, like usual. Those that don’t have a high enough score will be scored again at a later date, like usual. So they can take say 20 applications from republic, score them, and choose not to interview any of them if none meet the requirements. Nothing requires delta to interview them. More or less it gives the opportunity to those who want to work for Delta a better chance of being hired than say going to horizon since it requires delta to look at their application. That’s all it does. It makes delta look at their application and give only those who are deserving of a interview an interview.

So of course everybody’s going ape over this because a couple other airlines got something basically minimally attractive and we got nothing. I’d rather have the chance to walk Into a interview, be the best i can be now at 3000 hours after 18 Monthes with the dgi than to have my application scored for 6 years and rejected until I have 7000 hours

The only way real way we are getting 175SC is to replace Gojet 700s and our 3 700s. So if you hear a order for 25 E175SC from Delta, that probably would be for that but what happens to the 7 900s they operate? Those go to Republic?

7 is too small of a fleet for an operator. At least we have CRJ 900s that can cover some of the support functions of operating 3 700s, with 7 900s; they would basically be limited to one base- and High cost.

Prex, you're absolutely right. I know something like that probably isn't said much on these forums, but I believe in keeping it civil.

I'm just not sure I'm 100% dead set on going to Delta. There are ton of opportunities out there today, and growing monthly. Isn't SWA a nice place to work, too? I have buddies that are at Spirit now that are greatly enjoying their time there. While the PAX might not enjoy the flights, it seems that the pilots do.

From the perspective of a prospective 121 pilot, i'm still weighing my options.

Just because you come to endeavor doesn’t mean you are required to go to delta. Those who know me know that I have my heart set on another major at the moment for my own reasons that I feel will benefit my QOL long term with what I want in life.
