haha just messing. i just long term or even short dont see us going ERJ. would even make sense to see skywest move into CAE with all the new jets theyre getting because we cant have a hot minute anywhere besides new york (not for long i guess) without them coming in. (ATL)

For what it’s worth, I and about 10 others had a talk with JD, the former COO, about two weeks before he left. He said delta’s plan for DCI is to have two carriers (us and SKW) and both of them to operate both the CRJ and the E175. As well as both flying out of all of delta’s hubs. Like others have said, delta never wants all of their eggs in a single regional basket ever again.

Probably very redundant here, but just looking to get an idea of commuting for Endeavor. I'd be commuting from BOS. Anyone have this or similar commutes?
QOL is priority for me with a family at home. Commuting day prior/day after with 1 day off sounds miserable. The commuting policy seems decent, especially from a big hub like BOS (2 flights to get to work policy).
Can anyone attest to commuting day 1 and getting back home on their last day? Also, is a 4/3 schedule to be expected in NYC? Thanks guys.

Also because of how close we are to LGA and the frequency of flights, what might not be commutable to most is commutable from BOS. I'd say most trips are commutable. Every month in the summer I probably had 1 or 2 trips that I had to commute in the day before because they started far too early. But a majority of trips are commutable on the end. Occasionally you'll run into trips that are done at like 1030 or 11 and then your stuck waiting till the morning (the 6 am flight from LGA to BOS though is always open).
Most trips are 4 and 5 day trips. 5 days are guaranteed commutable and 4 days are hit or miss. if you want 3 days off between trips its easily doable. I think Ive had a line for 6 months and have only done 2 days off between trips twice. most are 3 to 4 with a longer stretch of 5 or so thrown in. (this would be in the summer, in the winter ive had 2 months now of 21 days off and ridiculous stretch's of days off which is great for QOL and not having to deal with the winter storms)
All in all BOS really isn't that bad of a commute and I don't really stress much over it. you have lots of options and lots of wiggle room to make stuff work.

You can expect a 4 on 4 off schedule or even better on the 900 in NY as an FO... about 14-18 days off a month. Some guys are getting 20-21 days off a month without using vacation. Additionally, for the months you are reserve you should be easily able to commute in on day 1 and home on the last day... so you'll truly get 12 days at home.
As we have a lot of commuters, commutability is definitely there (all our 5 day trips are commutable) but it goes senior. You'll get some commutable starts or ends each month as soon as you hold a line, but give it a year as an fo and you won't need a crashpad.
Also one thing to add: Delta is doubling down on Boston this summer and adding lots of new 900 routes/frequencies such as CHS. You can expect a few overnights in Boston a month if you preference it in our bidding system...
Nope. But overall endeavor is a much more commuter friendly airline than republic especially when you can hold 5 day trips. Positive space on the second attempt. With a short frequent commute like BOS or DCA almost every trip should be commutable.
