Endeavor Vs. Republic
 

So, after talking with recruitment between Endeavor and Republic, I'm at an impasse between the two. How true is it that Endeavor is leading the regional's in 3 year FO pay and has a guaranteed interview "flow" into Delta? Also, what are the upgrade times averaging at Endeavor with hours flown per month?

As for Republic, Upgrade times? And has there been any changes at the company after the "business Bankruptcy"? And what has been heard about the trend of the company as far as growth?

Not trying to be a lifer at the regional's and endgame goal is Delta, just trying to find the best deal at time.

Endeavor most junior awarded upgrade is Spring 2014 hire.
No 'flow', but a guaranteed interview after 24 months as a captain.
First year pay is $30/hour with a $3,000 bonus and $20,000 retention bonus every four months (works out to be around $50,000 first year).

Where do you want to live? Figure that out and go from there. Living in base is huge, followed by least painful commute.

Read through the Endeavor and Republic threads, you'll find all your answers there. With that being said, it blows my mind that people are still going to Republic, it is such an unsure entity at this point. Even if things get really good the short term is still going to be painful.

Is the retention bonus guaranteed beyond 2018? I thought I saw that it was in place only until then (obviously they could continue to extend).

Feel free to PM me for details on RAH.

Funny because I know about 10-15 pilots all at Republic and none of them have said a single bad thing about the company since BK was filed. Its still business as usual there.

Endeavor. Is the Republic or Endeavor a serious question?

They have no plans for canceling 40% of our paychecks. It was guaranteed and there will be another contract extending that. Just look at Ed Bastions comments about 9E. Endeavor is going to be around a lot longer than Republic.

That's a bold statement, sounds like what some people would have said about comair. I think ALL regionals are running out of time.

Take a look at what Ed said about RAH after the Delta deal was reached and tell me how you came to that conclusion.
