Endeavor can't fill a class!

[SkyNation]

SkyWest is struggling to fill theirs as well. It's all starting to happen as has been predicted. Oh and rumor has it that Mesa had people in the parking lot of the SkyWest trg bldg trying to poach newhires as they went to class each day.

That would be a huge mistake to jump ship from Skywest to Mesa.

Lots of displacements still at Pinnacle/Endeavor. I just heard the Chief Pilot for 9E at JFK was displaced....headed to DTW.

Better not be CP at DTW. Ive come to enjoy and expect a base staff that works hard without being smug and barely functional.

LOL....you'll probably end up flying with him.

Just wait until the legacies really turn on the hiring. Rumor has it a certain "Southern based" airline may hire more than 700 this year, instead of advertised 300. Once it starts, it will continue for a decade. Most big retirement numbers come at the end of this decade.

Also, another way to go to the legacies is through a LCC. I don't think any legacy "minds" hiring pilots AWAY from a LCC.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Compass has been filling their classes with Endeavor pilots too. Speaking of Jet Blue. What is the monthly health insurance cost for a pilot and kids?

Obviously do what is best for you and your family, but going to JB may lead you to other opportunities faster. I just talked to a JB E190 FO on our jump and he now is also in the interview pool at Hawaiian, expecting an April interview. If you have "some" PIC, I think you should look at that option. If you have 1000+ PIC, I really think you should look at that option if you are getting nowhere with the legacies. Everyone is starting to figure out that there is a strategy to this now. If you aren't in the top 20% of your Regional, your QOL will probably start to suffer....

JFK Chief displaced an aircraft right off a taxiway and onto the news. There but for the grace of god and all that...but you can't imagine that to be without consequences.

No he didn't! Good God who started that?

All the CP did was drive the guys who did around for a whiz quiz and give them a brief from the company. Like all CP's he was sleeping late onthe weekend.

Seriously, someone has to explain to me why people make that up, when it is public knowledge who did go off, well public if u know how to use ftweb.

 

[Freebrd]

You are one to talk. Same old stuff over and over like a broken record. Everyone has had enough of your opinions and "valued" advice.

lol go for it Irishman! Now go get me sum Sheperd Pie! jk

If true, times have certianly changed from when OO was poaching YV pilots out of YV HQ parking lot.

How about I bring you some jerk back from MBJ next month? No, not GL.

So the CP was the pilot who departed the pavement? Or he gave those pilots a little cursory debrief? (The news said they slid off while on the ice)

No CP wasnt flying, he just did his duty as CP and xported pilots around for whiz quiz and company debrief. Debreif is mandatory.

And yes, they slid off taxiway, juliet has a second bend to the right landing 22L. Upon exiting, right before the turn, the plane hit black ice (packed snow followed by rain then freezing rain for u southern folk) and interia did the rest. Nothing left the improved surfave and no damage.

Not much you can do on black ice. I'm a former 9E pilot - live near ATL and saw it on the ATL news. I miss JFK and the good crews we had. Different place now...just a couple of yrs later.

But one of my JFK buddies (displaced from ATL 900 FO) was telling me that CP was being displaced to DTW. JFK used to be the junior base.

MSP is apparently the junior base now.

3NH in a class at 9E? Expect management to declare they will do 1 class a week and there will be 150 weeks in the year, therefore they WILL make their quota this year. Facts should never get in the way of making goals.

Supposedly Guum-ball went to ATL with the American Eagle contract to show how outclassed our contract is in comparison. I wasnt there but I Imagine the conversation went like this.

RA: Hey there Gummy, I hear youre doing a great job over there.
GB: Slight hiccup on the hiring side, we only got three new hires and the union wont budge on letting us give new hires signing bonuses with payraises.
RA: WELL DAMMIT! Have that Lee Moak fellow write those bastard pilots another email. Tell him this time to really lay it on thick.
GB: Ok, but I have to start parking 50 seaters faster starting in march if this doesnt work.
RA: Don't you worry. I don't worry about March problems until May or June. We will get by.
GB: How?
RA: I'll tell you in August!
