Can’t wait to see how this onion peels.

 

And the 43 ERJs haven't arrived yet.... The proverbial poo is about to hit the turbofan at this regional. ENGINE OUT

I think they were betting on XJT pilots jumping ship to save them but hadn't calculated on Endeavor's upper cut move to the regional industry.

 

Yeah I've been here at Skywest for about 6 months, ORD 175 FO. The amount of money I could be making there at Endeavor along with only 1000 Turbine required for upgrade as I'm a Restricted ATP make them a no brainer. I've already talked to many new hires and they are considering making the switch also. I don't know how Skywest will fill the new planes. I'm sure they are banking on the west coast bases attracting people.

 

Jumping ship and going to Skywest?

 

If you’re gonna jump, do It before it’s too late, get In before others do. No point shorting yourself pay at SkyWest when you could be at endeavor getting paid WAY more and not continuing to tell yourself the OO koolaid is worth the lower pay....

 

Yup just applied! Thanks for the advice. Love SkyWest and all the people I’ve met but the opportunities at endeavor are just too good to pass up.

I have no doubt SkyWest guys and gals are awesome to work with but at the end of the day you gotta take care of yourself and work for someone who pays you what you’re worth if not better. Good luck and hope to see you at the majors soon! Take care

 

Thanks so much! Agree with everything you said. And hope to see you too also.

So you're a restricted ATP, no previous flight experience, no type ratings on jets, got on 175s, and will probably upgrade with 1500 or less time with Skywest, and you're already b****ing about the job you have? This is the problem with today's regionals. Unappreciative a**hats who think they deserve everything right up front instead of focusing on getting their flight time and moving on. Go ahead, move over to Endeavor and fly CRJ-200s and get cut when Delta shuts their precious "wholly owned" entity down next year or two after the next economic downturn. Don't believe me? Fine, look at what they did with Comair and ASA. Oh, but wait, they pay BIG bonuses and just passed a big TA. Ok, and Daddy Delta doesn't care. Endeavor is still a regional and subcontractor at the mercy of ONE major carrier. Think about that for a minute. Whatever, if you're flying new 175s for Skywest and already hate being here, move on.

 

Yep, just look on the surface and Endeavor looks good......until Delta shuts them down in a year or two. You want to get paid what you're "worth", then get your time and move on to a major or go Netjets or Flexjet. Funny thing is, many on here probably don't have squat for type ratings or turbine time, yet they think they're worth $100K a year plus. This industry is screwed.
