Default Does Endeavor Have a Real Flow to Delta or ..

This Q is probably for Endeavor pilots. Just wondering if there is a 'flow' and if so is it something a new hire could count on? I'm currently considering Endeavor.

Not a flow, a guaranteed interview providing certain conditions are met (24 months as a captain for Endeavor as one)

The only flow was the Mesaba pilots to NWA. After the merger between DAL and NWA, DAL did not want to honor the agreement (except for a handful) nor did ALPA try to enforce the agreement like they do or would with mainline pilots. Thanks ALPA! Although DAL still likes to advertise about having integrity I guess they must define it differently.

Any idea what the interview success rate is? Perhaps what I'm trying to say is: Is the 'guaranteed interview' more in word that in deed? Is it sincere?

My guy there says success rate is about 70%, though that fluctuates depending on who goes for the interview. If you're hungry, want it bad enough, and willing to refresh yourself on systems before you go, then it's more than word - it's earned.

Sounds like a lot of guys go into the interview with a sense of entitlement, which ends up burning them. Much like most things in life, if you work hard, you'll be successful.

Good luck as you make your decision. Endeavor is growing, is offering a lot of career progression, and pays more than most. Plus, if you live in the Midwest or East, really aren't many more reliable options. Listen - if Delta is where you want to fly, give 9E a serious look. Don't listen to us here on the boards!

Um... What about Compass? Originally with NWA and honored post merger.

Because no Compass pilots are employed at Endeavor (unless they jumped ship). I believe he is only referring to flow within the Endeavor profile (Pinnacle, Mesaba, Colgan).

Default Endeavor or Compass? Any thoughts?

I applying to both but honestly don't know much as far as what's behind the curtain. It's hard to know about an airline from the outside. HR and pilot recruitment paint one picture, but every canvas has two sides... Any insight would be sincerely appreciated.

* I was originally only referring to Endeavor but now you've me thinking about Compass' flow; Does someone know how that is working out. It it for real or just some deceptive marketing?

Sounds like you have no idea what really goes on with these interviews. Alot of qualified, experienced and well prepared pilots go to the interview and get rejected.
