Endeavor Interviews - READ
I did -900 differences in March and when I got to OE the check airman was telling me about how he helps with interviews.
It seems Endeavor gets plenty of applications and schedules folks for interviews, but less than half show up.
Here is the kicker - if you schedule an interview and don't show, Endeavor sends your name and application to Delta HR and according to this check airman, you aren't eligible for hire at Delta, ever. This check airman has no reason to lie either. Very professional guy.
So if you do schedule and interview and have no plans on taking the job, do it for practice or just call and cancel. Don't no-show.
Just wanted to make that known. Aviation is too small to burn bridges. You'll find yourself stuck on an island.

He basically said they are un-phased by the lack of hires. Their excuse is "every airline is having problems finding pilots, so it's not us".
When Phil Reed came into ground school and talked to us he basically said that "if you guys want to upgrade, then we have to keep -200s. The only way to do that is to get pilots. So get on your phones and convince your buddies to come to Endeavor."
Needless to say the room fell silent.

Why does Delta care? That seems kind of far fetched, someone at Delta gets paid to collect names from someone at Endeavor, enter them into a database and compare every single applicant against a database to see if they no-showed for an Endeavor interview? Not to mention most of these applicants will not be qualified to apply to Delta for years, will this collection of names still be around then? It seems like a lot of work for nothing, I would think the employees at Endeavor and Delta have better things to do with their time. The responsible thing to do would be to cancel your interview if you can't make it but let's not fool ourselves and think that Delta cares at all about what happens at Endeavor.

Anyone who recalls some of AAs shenanigans during past hiring wave will have no trouble believing this. None whatsoever.
If you really don't think this is possible, even likely, you are naive.

To me it seems like their biggest hurdle for new hires is their basing. Republic, Eagle, Express, and SkyWest all seem to have something for everyone to have some beacon of hope to get to. Endeavor bases = most dense and expensive part of America to live in or commute to. I guess you get to boarder Canada though.
