Endeavor to hire 300-400

[xjhawk]

A day of testing. Great. I guess its time to open up my CFI books again as I think these very insightful HR and Flight Ops people manning the entrance door to their pilot group really want to make sure someone flying for 10-15 years safely at a regional knows Bernoulli's Principle, Aeronautics for naval aviators, and planning a descent on an arrival while figuring out if the plane you are flying will overtake the plane in front of you on that same arrival. Or maybe they should just bring some really big circus hoops into the interview and see just who will jump through the most because that is a better indication of who really wants the job the most. Or maybe just line up everyone and start doing some side straddle hops (jumping jacks for you non military people) and the last ones standing gets the job.

These threads can't go on without a Mesaba guy insulting a Pinnacle guy or visa versa. Eventually we won't have these little two minutes of hate sessions because we will all move on to another airline.

Lets bring Colgan into the mix! Their Pedophile had the largest multi-monitor liquid cooled multiple hard drive kidde porn computer setup the police have ever seen!

Ahhh, reminiscing over old times, this is fun.

First of all, anyone who shows up to interview for a job thats pays 20 bucks an hour fails right away for mental unfitness. So it's a catch twenty-two situation. BTW written tests are a waste of time at these interviews, sim eval=yes.

Let me see your war face!

Can't flush the list. Bloch said Colgan pilots had career expectations. The rest of you obviously didn't.

It should have been DOH from day 1. Mesaba wanted it. 9E did not because their merger committee (2 of the 3) had to represent the top senior side and because about 200 9E pilots would be impacted negatively by DOH, they took a huge stand against it. Colgan wanted relative for obvious reasons but if 9E had accepted DOH and stood together with Mesaba on that issue, then that would have left Colgan demanding something else. The operation would have continued with three separate lists until Colgan was basically liquidated and planes went to Republic. Once the Colgan pilots would have seen that, they would have gladly accepted DOH because a job with longevity credit is still better than being jobless. DOH would have been the list and everyone could have moved on knowing that if they lost their seat, it was because someone was literally senior to them. None of this 2005 guys getting downgraded while 2007 Colgan guys keep their seat BS.

The only way out of the mess you guys are in is to get out. You made your bed, but you don't have to sleep in it.
Hopefully it doesn't fold before you can go somewhere better.
Best case...continued attrition and no applications from new hires then close the doors.

 

[big shacks]

Some of us didn't make our bed...that's the problem. We lost 4 years of seniority and are sitting reserve after 10 years +. Contract wise.. True, majority made their bed.

 

[SoberIrishman]

Unfortunately true, and those responsible don't give a rats. This industry is done as far as the regional feed is concerned, but we have to stand firm and resist the pressure from the majors as long as possible. When no more new blood is coming along, the piper may have to find a different tune to play.
Right now, if you have some time left, plan to go elsewhere, and as far from Endeavor as you can get.
It will shut down. So will others, eventually, thanks to the yes voters at 9e, PSA and such like.

I still see pukes running to get airplanes out on time. On our message board there are still f u c k i ng idiots arguing about pride and dignity to be on time and be company. Fo's tell me captains from all range of seniority get shaky knees when the clock starts running down and the doors are still open. I gave up a long time ago and our pilot group. I hope this place shuts down to the ground. POOOOOF !!!!!
