Haven't you heard? Only real pilots work for a WO.

Again, don't know anything about you but if you're very junior, jumping ship to either one wouldn't cause you to have huge pay cuts and a bad QOL.

I guess you missed the part where I said its not worth COMMUTING or taking a pay/qol cut. Why would it be worth jumping ship from a regional where I live in base, to one where I would give up precious days off to commute halfway across the country? I'm sure I'd have plenty of time to put travel benefits to use to travel the world after losing several days off each month as a commuter...

And going from the top 10% in the base where I live to the bottom of the seniority list on reserve at compass or endeavor would be a hit to qol. Not to mention a pay cut at compass, and possibly endeavor (depending on what their latest bonus scheme is).

Order of priorities:
1 - living in base
2 - contract/pay
3 - movement/upgrade
4 - travel benefits

Again that's why I said I didn't know anything about you. Obviously if you're more senior anywhere it wouldn't make sense to jump ship. All I was saying is that if you're junior at some of the other regionals, compass or endeavor might be worth it to look into. If you're in the top 10% of seniority, it would make no sense to leave now for another regional. If you're in the bottom 10%, however, compass or endeavor might be worth it to at least research.

A guy in my class from envoy said his benifits were better at envoy. Didn't think much of ours.

So a guy in class, who hasn't used his flight benefits yet, is a good resource? You are terrible at trolling. Try again.

^^^^ Right ? ^^^^ ... and, so Mr. Troll aka JB22 ... please also tell us why he bailed from wholly-owned Envoy with all those great AAdvantages, AA flows, and 3 year upgrades for the likes of SkyWest? Did you ever ask him THAT?

Oh, please tell us it's because his commute got easier ...that would be just precious.

I can hammer a nail with a crescent wrench and I can break off a bolt with a hammer. In both instances, the job gets done but one tool is most definitely better suited for the job than the other depending on the situation. It doesn't make a hammer a better tool than a wrench.

I think its kind of funny that you are getting all worked up over whether your flight benefits are better than that guy's. Its kind of like watching a couple of backwoods redneck hillbillies arguing over whose 20 year truck, that barley runs, is better.

If I where an Eagle guy I'd love those benefits. To have mainline benefits while at the regional would be huge. If I where at AA I'd think it would suck. I'd hate to be a mil hire in say my third year at AA and a Eagle guy bumps me off my mainline flight. Also IMO check in time should have nothing to do with priority. DOH period.

Glad we don't have that at Delta.

No. He was in my class in September at Skywest. Came from envoy. I talk to him weekly. I don't know what envoys benifits are like but that's what he says
