Hello,

If you are looking to apply at Endeavor air it's a great time to Join the company. Endeavor recently started hiring approximately 40 pilots per month and are looking to increase that number to 60 pilots per month starting in January/ February of 2016. Plans were recently mentioned to bring multiple CRJ 200’s back onto the property along with 350 upgrades in 2016. This would cause our already fast paced seniority list movement to become even faster as we bring more and more pilots onto property. Endeavor currently pays a $20,000 per year retention bonus, one third of which is paid out every 4 months, and they have a guaranteed interview program with Delta airlines for new hires. Please PM me if you’d like additional details about Endeavor and would like a possible referral. I would be happy to assist you with the application process and answer any questions you may have. Thank you!

Since ALPA is a mainline controlled entity, ALPA National should be more vocal in demanding that regionals yield their jumpseats to wanting mainline pilots.

I'm so sick and tired of just having coasted in from a crossing and trying to get home and walking up to the gate on the only flight home that is an oversold RJ and finding out that the j/s is occupied by some newhire regional "punk" (stereotypical spikey, backpack toting unprofessional appearance) When asked if he would yield the j/s to a senior mainline pilot, you get the "sorry dude, no can do". Yet this "dude" will be sucking up to the next mainliner when he's on a mainline j/s, hoping to get a rec. Sorry dude, no can do. It works both ways.... Think about it. Is it better to get home a few hours earlier than to p/o a potentially influential mainliner, who could have a negative impact on your entire future?

You are right with the exception that the pilots would be "real" mainline pilots, not regional pilots. They would be pilots hired by mainline, vetted by mainline and trained by mainline. IOW, most regional pilots wouldn't qualify to fly the jet under mainline even though they are flying it with a regional.

Be careful what you wish for. You guys want to be at mainline so bad, that you will end up excluding most of you because you aren't mainline Tier 1 candidates.
