No matter how good the commuter policy is, this is a huge turn off when I can go to RPA and avoid that scenario altogether. JULY Base/Aircraft/DOH Junior Pilot/ DOH Junior Lineholder ATL/200/Mar18/Dec17 ATL/900/Oct17/May17 DTW/200/Mar18/Dec17 DTW/900/Jan18/Sep17 MSP/900/Jan18/Aug17 NYC/200/NH/Dec17 NYC/900/NH/Sep17 Bear in mind training takes 3 months. So for example, most junior ATL 900 FO is 6 months post IOE.... DTW 900 3. |

Fake news... review the other thread that has actual dates of most junior reserve pilots and lineholders in other bases. It’s much less than a year. Quoted from there for your convenience:

Oh that's much more bearable, then. Not sure why you call it fake news, though. That phrase is getting so old. That's what the recruiter (Zack) told me on the phone today, so /shrug. Not sure why he'd lie. Maybe he just has bad info?

If you can avoid having to commute, I’d choose Republic. It really does make a huuuuuuge difference in QOL. Especially when sitting reserve.

Is that even with factoring in Endeavor's commuter policies? I.e. positive space after first attempt, etc?

That said, Endeavor has a ton of commuters into NYC with overall positive job satisfaction, we have a few cool things in addition to the positive space commuting that cater to commuters.

Wholly owned isn't really a plus. You're owned by one airline and if crap hits the fan and the major wants to cut ties, well, you know what happens. Look at Comair. Republic has 5 owners (Big three, GE and Embrear). You have five eggs in your basket compared to one. Many of the people at Republic love the QOL since some months they have 19+ days off.
Now, commuting wise Endeavor beats Republic if you want to commute. To the original poster. Do whatever is best for you. The Endeavor/Delta DGI doesn't have a good pass rate btw. ;) Good luck in your career choice.

I think you've got it down to two good choices.
I started at Endeavor a year ago. I'm having a good time at my first 121. The pay is good. Almost everyone here is great. Long call reserve is a nice touch once you can hold it. I like flying the 900. Another pilot from my neck of the woods started at Republic in the fall, and she's enjoying things there. She flies all over the place, and the E-jet is nice. The wholly owned thing was a deal breaker for me, but Republic isn't going anywhere. Good luck whichever way you go! |
