Default You gotta be pulling our leg....

What domiciles are you all based in, and where are you on the seniority list in base? Come on over to Chicago or Detroit where 11 to 12 days is all we get and 95 block is the norm.

Also for you yes voters, take a look at the Endeavor forum. Thank you Endeavor pilots and ALPA for setting the bar for all regional pilots! As a nice add-on the guaranteed positive space option for commuters! I would never thought that I would see that at a regional. Good luck on your TA.

Maybe Skywest has the secret sauce, but plenty thought they had it made at Atlantic Coast, Comair and ASA. You never know when someone else will deal management an ace and the gravy train will come off the rails. Never hurts to have your apps out at better places, no matter how comfy you are right now. Some Bubbas at EV are trying to figure out how to get a couple decades of logbooks updated quickly because they thought that weekends and 16-18 a month and every holiday was pretty good too.

You mean, 5 years, right? Haha.


Also, 7 years of what Endeavor is offering is FAARRRR better than 5 years of the shameful maneuver heap that you guys sacrificed an arm and a herd of bulls for....


Also, Air Wisconsin is one among many non-wholly owneds nowadays paying close or matching what Endeavor's TA proposes for hard, fixed rates (it's in bonuses, but with this move on the part of Endeavor it could propagate a paradigm shift in regional airline pay).

At least their company came forth with an actual proposal versus the turd they gave us (still shake my head on how it passed).

Gratz to the 9E pilot group.

So they no longer get bonuses. So i would like to see what our “rate” would be with our bonus structure in our pay scales...(update. Quick math tell me $8 a hour..)

I’m not trying to attack you at all.

However, I would have preferred better pay rates versus bonuses that are influenced by many outside factors. Just my 2 cents though.

I agree. Bonuses are nice in good times. But a safe route would be having them in the Scale...
