[QUOTE=RyanP;2070281]PDT is basing all their growth off our old worn out, high time, soon to be retired E145's from Envoy, we already have mothballed a whole fleet of them in the desert.. 50 seaters are going away in the regional world if you haven't noticed. Just like how the 19-34 seat turboprops I started flying at the regionals died off. I have thousands of hours in those very 145's going to PDT, they are clapped out uncomfortable old pieces of junk that the customers hate to fly on. I sure wouldn't want to bet my future plans on that recipe for disaster at PDT working out for them long term...[/QUOTE
There is a strong market for those 50 seat jets where we fly. If there wasn't C5 wouldn't be doing the very same thing. I'd worry more about your own dumpster fire at Envoy first. Shiny new jets don't appeal to everyone when, by your own pilots admission, everything else sucks there.

I've been struggling in between corporate and regionals. If I go regional I'm going with Endeavor. Yeah, it might be a little commute but the wages definitely do it for me for right now in life hands down. I can't afford to live at most regionals first year pay. A year doesn't sound like much overall but it's still a year trying to do a second job on top of flying for a regional. Endeavor looks pretty solid......

Ok.. Good luck with a new fleet of old worn out pieces of crap and nothing new coming in. No orders, no options.... Doesn't sound like a stable promising platform for a new hire looking ahead at Least 6 yrs to flow. Not that shltvoy is any better really.
Earlier poster said it best. Join a guard unit for the sure thing and absolute fastest path to a Legacy.

These graphs don't tell the whole story. I'm all for all that extra money, but if it means you have to be at a contract airline 5 years longer because it takes longer to upgrade or some other circumstance, then your total compensation in pay and benefits will not be high as someone who went to the major leagues 5 years before you. At age 65, those extra 5 years in the big leagues probably means a million dollars extra.
