Endeavor Air Repo MSP-Rockford Illinois:

Endeavor Air (9E) #4277 ? 19-Nov-2014 ? KMSP - KRFD ? FlightAware

AWAC routinely does major structural work here. Like when stuff is really really broken.


Anyone know if Endeavor has any history of doing MX there also?

No history, first time I've heard of one of our planes going to RFD. At first glance thought it was another one of those recruiting trips they've been doing lately to college towns trying to round up applicants with the CRJ200 on its way to Kingman to be stored in the desert. I think they gave up on that recruiting tool a few months ago, had more first class seats in the 200 then they had applicants.

Whilst we a 9E took concessions in bankruptcy, none of it was for growth. We have been working to restore our pre-bankruptcy contract which was quite close to AWAC (concessionary contract) in terms of work rules and pay rates.

I welcome AWAC to the DCI family. You are always welcome on my jumpseat.

OO has arguable the best contract and work rules. Doesnt seem like they are dragging the industry down.

Two things I must enlighten you with are there is no contract at oo. Also the work rules are better than most but they are nothing to rave about. Do your homework.

You have no contract. Your management can unilaterally change work rules and rates of pay at a whim. Meanwhile they can terminate you for whatever they please leaving you with no recourse.

You may think that union protection isn't necessary, but there are hundreds of others before you who would strongly disagree.

SkyWest is a respectable operation, but I wouldn't call your current book industry leading. It is not a legally binding document, regardless of what the Skywest Student Council may say.

Another day of no news. I thought there was a definite announcement to be made 2 days ago, but instead nothing here but a bunch of guys arguing over whose regional is better. Hate to break it to you, but they all suck so why argue? Get in and get out and go to the majors and complain about something worthwhile like how you wanted the Salisbury Steak but you got chicken for the crew meal instead. This thread is getting just as bad as the Envoy thread, 0 facts, 100% speculation and 200% complaining.

Default TK is right

Current pilot staffing is up ~100 pilots flying the line (not instructors) from what we had in 2010, with more to come.

I will just keep holding my breath...

TK is right, and the repo flights to RFD yesterday was to send the aircraft to Emery Air.
