Exactly this, I've had a great time working with everyone from Pinnacle to Endeavor. I kept thinking it would get better, and stuck it out. Looking back I wish I would have left at least a year ago. They don't want people to leave, at the delta interviews they are actually telling people that they can't hire all the SSPs the first time around. That would hurt Delta's invested interest in Endeavor.
I really don't get this industry. We can do the job for a mainline airline flying their passengers, but they want it at substandard pay - especially for the fo's. All the sudden you get hired by delta then go back to flying their passengers again, but you are at a much higher pay - especially in a year or two. Unfortunately the fault falls on us. We allowed, as well as those before us, to let this system occur. We are our own worst enemies. As more and more regional guys enter the ranks at main line hopefully a standard will be put in and fought for to level the playing field for all airlines as a whole - especially FO's!

Last vacancy, there were 0 downgrades. OP is right. Most posting on here are ex-employees hoping for demise. Truth of the matter, every regional is shrinking to some degree. 9E is no different. Everyone is so scared that Delta owns 9E...get over it! Comair got shutdown...yeah but that is 1 out of how many companies Delta owns. Don't know what companies Delta owns? Here a quick list:
Aero Assurance Ltd.
Cardinal Insurance Company (Cayman) Ltd.
Crown Rooms, Inc.
DAL Global Services, LLC
DAL Moscow, Inc.
Delta Air Lines, Inc. and Pan American World Airways,Inc.—Unterstutzungskasse GMBH
Delta Air Lines Dublin Limited
Delta Air Lines Private Limited
Delta Benefits Management, Inc.
Delta Loyalty Management Services, LLC
Delta Private Jets, Inc.
Endeavor Air
Epsilon Trading, LLC
Kappa Capital Management, LLC
MLT Inc.
Montana Enterprises, Inc.
New Sky, Ltd.
Northwest Aerospace Training Corporation
Regional Elite Airline Services, LLC
Segrave Aviation, Inc.

Highly doubt that Endeavor Air is an experiment. Choosing an regional to start your career is a tricky one. How many pilots have chased a fast upgrade and got burned? MANY!
Endeavor in the future will have steady upgrades once this place gets churning. Last vacancy ZERO downgrades...there is already a turn around. Those are the FACTS.
Delta is about controlling cost. Just as Delta bought an oil refinery in 2012 to control the "crack spread" for jet fuel. This has already resulted in millions in savings. Endeavor is the same. Controlling cost but at the same time branding. All the companies that Delta owns is about controlling cost. Endeavor is no different. Endeavor is an asset to Delta...not something they will throw away.
The emerging from bankruptcy and the purchase of 9E was in 2013. People are impatient. It hasn't been two years yet. The original plan has always been 81 aircraft which is still decent lift if you compare to all other regionals. The last 900 will be received in Feb giving us 81 plus some 200's on deck throughout 2015. AWAC's deal fell through so it looks like there will be more 200's than expected.
Point being, if you wait for things to be "good" at a regional searching for fast upgrades...if that is happening...chances are you are TOO LATE TO THE PARTY. The ones that were there before you will get the upgrades and chances are things will slow down before you get too upgrade.
2015 is a turn around year at Endeavor (2 years after BK):
- All 900's on deck
- Zero downgrades to start the year
- Managed attrition to Delta - 144 per year
- Attrition from top to other airlines that are hiring in 2015 and beyond.
- Pilot contract amendable 2017 which is at the end of bonus.
- 30k bonus for the next two years making starting salary for FO's decent.
Starting next year, you could realistically say there will be 300-400 off the top going to other airlines. That means upgrades end of 2015 and beyond.
9E is NOT a doom and gloom story once you see all the facts. It's a place to start your career and move on to other things while delivering a good branded Delta product. If you wait until things are "good" here at 9E, you are too late. Stop listening to the naysayers and ex-employees that NEVER seem to list all the facts.

Some of you guys are unbelievable... That is complete horse sh1t. Whomever told you that either didn't hack it in the interview and is just saying that to put the blame on the process, or is either just trying to stir stuff up.

There is numerical facts and solid logic in this posts. It's not a foregone conclusion that the majority of us (pilot generalization) complain about circumstances. Much of it is warranted. But I submit my concurrence when I say that he is right. If you recruit 100 FOs, you make $200,000 dollars. There's another number.

The problem is folks "think" they should be in spot B, while in spot A. Those who left look back and mentally only want their past to crumble. It's a psychological mind game. Those who say "I wish 9E the best" after leaving portray Pseudo-certainty effect to the definition. Looking back, any change in thought is deemed a rational thought if the outcome can be better than present day, with reinforcement if the thought proves true on even on a limited level. Furthermore, many here are entertaining the ambiguity effect and gambler's fallacy to say that the past WILL BE the future by repeating it with support of others, coupled by a limited basis of past truth, regardless of past circumstances.
But, that's none of my business. It seems those who were the most negative have left, known as negativity bias, and the joy of that conundrum is the fact that those with a bias tend to employ Semmelweis reflex to make sure their thoughts and feelings are provided as the truth.
The mind is a fun playpen, especially with anonymity of a message board.
Endeavor will be fine if DL shows they want the airline to work. It has been repeatedly said by everyone, sans ALPA, that 81 -900's is the plan. The difference was that the shedding of -200's was planned to be via SSP and Major/LCC movement from CA's, not the fleeing of FO's to regionals. We shall see if the latest changes yield positive results.
