How are things at Endeavor? Anybody that knows my post history knows I have ranted that mainline needs to provide support and resources to their regional feed. Like what happened to Colgan was terrible. Delta is giving a lot of support to Endeavor, and I think this shows in our product and people. This has been going on for some time, and with the new-ish pilot retention bonuses and upwards movement via the SSP, they are cleaning up the pilot specific needs, too.

I'd like to wave a magic wand and make us all mainline employees, but I can't. Til then, I will take this. Oh, and management seems to want to work with us, not against us. Especially is you live in one of our bases or have an easy commute...you may want to look closely into Endeavor.

How long are you looking at being on reserve? I'm just at 1200 with my ATP written done and qualify for the 1250 mins, I just gotta find some time when I'm not flying to get my app done.

Reed between the lines says at least 97 upgrades in the next "few months" but I'm sure he meant next few vacancies.

Months is an accurate timeline discriptor.

What do you mean? One can argue that seconds or minutes is just as accurate.

I think you've missed the point.

There are different types of positive space travel.

As a new hire in training you have the ability to be positive spaced back and forth to home and training whenever you have 2 or more consecutive days off. They will not bump a passenger off a sold out flight for this to happen though since you are not working or heading to work another flight. You will get the seat if at the time of booking from scheduling if there is a seat available. Then they won't sell that seat.

Positive space can be a deadhead which is when you are working and getting paid to fly as a passenger. If you are going to work a flight in a downline city they will bump paying passengers off. They have these built into most trips and they pop up when things fall apart after weather and flights cancel and they need to reroute crews.

Non-revving is the company perk for pleasure travel. You are not a revenue passenger, hence "non-rev". You get a seat after all paying passengers board and if there is a seat left over on any delta carrier. Your priority is what separates each carrier. You get the highest priority on your own company aircraft and lesser priority on other Delta carriers. Endeavor has priority over every other delta connection carrier other than that carriers own aircraft.

Jumpseating is listing for the spare seat in the flight deck on any carrier that has agreements with your carrier(pretty much every airline). You only get to sit up front if there are no seats left over in the main cabin.

In any case, dress code is uniform or business casual.

Instead of being a condescending pile of rubbish, why not enlighten me? Obviously I'm ignorant so school me. And and by the way, yea, you sound real cool, sister.
