50% of the airline's operation touches the NY corridor. 45% of the daily operation actually lands on NY pavement. SkyWest - although a fantastic operator is nothing compared to the complex operation that Endeavor runs. If anyone's operations are confined it's that of SkyWest. Which largest hub - SLC - happens to be Delta's most on time.
And closing in on 250 days in this year without a single cancellation. 40 straight days right now, mind you. Endeavor runs a better operation in an environment much more difficult than SKW.

Last trip I overnighted in YVR and YUL. I've done LAX YOW YYZ too.
I'm by far a homer, but Pinnacle/Endeavor/Colgan is a dump. You have to pay FOs twice as much as everyone else just to stay there. SkyWest could afford to pay for you in cash, then flush you. Please.
Pilots may be great there, but you're a speckle of dust in the airline/financial world. You were bought to keep everyone else cheap. Put down the pipe.

No one cares if you land on NY pavement, but you can put that on the resume if it makes you feel better.
If you want to talk difficult flying try some of the uncontrolled mountain airports that endeavor goes into, oh wait they don't do any of those.
Now run along to your bed bug infested crew room and go away.

I don't think any company that needs to pay the retention bonuses to keep people around like Endeavor does deserves to be compared with any other regional, isn't Endeavor the only airline to be doing this? I know others have sign on bonuses but retention bonus?
Ill take my KoolAid with a splash of lemon.

Mix in the fact that OO does all that, and flies for three other partners at the same time and I really don't believe the comparison is even close. And I really did pay Endeavor a compliment for saying they were damn close and the controllable cancel record is very commendable.
