Endeavor preparing for 170's!!
Brian, DTW FO asks…
“I’m seeing a LOT of discussion about Endeavor getting E170 jets. When is this going to happen?”
Executive Response (Ryan Gumm)
Brian, we have been hearing a lot about this on our end, too. And, candidly, we’ve been working to prepare Endeavor for the day when Delta asks us to fly them. Will we be getting Embraer jets this week? No. Will we be getting them in the next few months? No. Will we eventually be an operator of Embraer jets? As Delta’s wholly-owned subsidiary, we need to position ourselves to deliver a product that aligns with Delta’s plan. So, while I can’t give you a hard date, I can confirm that as an organization, we are expeditiously preparing for the day when we are asked to operate E170/175 jets. When that day comes, we will be ready.

All is fair (or so they disfunctionally still cling to) in business, just like love and war and so it goes. I think it's a good idea now for prospective new pilots to include a good pair of hearty boots in their career kitbag considering all the B.S. they'll have to wade through in their quest for a legacy airline pilots job.

I think Endeavor knows it is going to have try harder than $50K to keep attracting pilots beyond 2016. There are only so many out there. They need growth and upgrades and a better defined career path towards delta. This is great for them if it pans out. I wonder who the 175s will come from?

As others have said, the 9E management is not in the business of BS'ing. When things were bad, they were upfront about it... Just like the memo says, they are preparing for them, but it is not necessarily going to happen soon. It all depends what Daddy D wants to do. Previously, maintenance and training was gearing up for a CRJ-700 program but that has shifted now to the 170/175.
We operate at the request of the mothership.

I think we may be gearing up for another DCI "shuffle".
