I am now a PIC but I would have to stay at my current position a few extra months to make up for the SIC time they won't accept.
Isn't that an FAA thing and not really an endeavor thing? I'm sure if it was up to endeavor they would count all your 135 SIC time and start you in class immediately, because we need you! Anyone else know more?

Funny thing is I did my PIC check ride with the FAA who clearly stated my time was valid. Endeavor is supposedly working on an answer now and "hopes" to get it straightened out soon. The company I am coming from isn't necessarily a "small" operation and others have been hired from here to Endeavor. Not sure where the confusion is coming from...

Ah Gotcha...there are so many moving parts here I am sure someone says one thing and someone else says something else. Good Luck! keep bugging them everyday about it until you get the answer.

Growth will be in NYC for the foreseeable future. I'd WAG it would take ~6 months to get to MSP. Bid the 200, you'll have faster movdment

You're assuming no one will move on outside of SSP/DGI. I know multiple people who have left the company in the last few weeks (not lateral moves).

Does anyone here commute on jetBlue?

If so, are the number of seats shown on jetBlue.com more accurate or the number of seats shown as available after you check-in and look at the standby list?

For my flight it's showing 20+ available on the website for sale but only 6 available on the standby list. I know jetBlue does not oversell their flights, so this is puzzling.

Let's see! We average 3-5 people outside of the SSP per month. 2-3 are on the Captain side. I sure hope you're right.

Sorry. I think you'll have to use jetblues thread to get an answer (if they've got one). Or load share/nonrev loads.

9E is in a unique spot in regard that we have a large percentage of the pilot group that has job offers from another company. Once we lose the last 250 attrition out of this place will probably be on par with other regionals. At the rate majors need to hire, I don't think anyone will become super stagnant.

It's also fairly accepted that if we can staff it, DL will likely give us the flying. While other regionals may start to shrink, this one is in a position to grow and we are hiring for growth. Especially with no more 200s coming this year the amount of people we are hiring doesn't make a lot of sense. Hence the statement "if we can staff it we will fly it".

Any tips on swapping trips with stuff in open time? I always get denied with the reserve levels being too low. Seems like to me it wouldn't make it a difference since they're always short reserves...
