DTW Based; SkyWest Vs Endeavor
Hey all,
I live near DTW with a March 2020 class date. Of course SkyWest is the no brainer option for someone based in DTW, but I still have a few questions:
- How long would one be on reserve in DTW?
- How long to upgrade in DTW?
Also, if Delta was the goal, how often does Delta hire skywest pilots? Would Endeavor be a better choice with the guaranteed interview?
Anything helps! Thanks!

If you have the quals upgrade is during NH training for DTW, 14 from the bottom FO got a line in November... tons of OO guys at DL and go to DL.. OO advantage over Endeavor is faster upgrade for DTW and we fly both 200/700/900 as one group. (More opportunity to pick up flying) OO DTW base is 240 CA’s and 217 FO’s. Not sure how big it is for Endeavor..

I know the 900/700/200 all one class for OO.
What else makes OO the no brainer for DTW?

Problem with Atlanta is twofold. One, its a smaller base, so even though its junior there are less slots. Two, with how Delta seems to be trying to shift us more west/midwest, I'm not sure what our Atlanta flying will look like in the near future.
As someone else said, nobody on the CRJ sits around. They work ya. I haven't had a reserve day where they don't use me, though I typically know the night before at least.
