As an EtD Commitment pilot, you will not be required to re-interview with Delta as your selection and screening by Endeavor and demonstrated performance thereafter will serve as your ticket to Delta. <<

"and demonstrted performance thereafter..."

What does that mean? Be good little boys and girls (don't make waves and/or stand up for your rights), and we'll put a word in for you at Delta.

There is NO GUARANTEE that you will get a Delta job if you work for Endeavor. NONE. What Endeavor is, is a litmus test to see if you are submissive enough to suck up at Delta later on.

What if you end up in the sim with some jerk and he or she puts an unsat on your PRIA record because he or she had a bad day? Bye, bye Delta.

All Endeavor is, is one big checkride.

Beware.
What a load of BS....

You can't be a retard at any airline and expect to move onto a major.

True things suck here right now...but this place is not the worst place to go. If I was just starting out and Delta was my number one...I'd give this place a serious look. Especially if I lived with mom and dad!

Endeavor is just about the worst choice for any aspiring regional pilot. Go anywhere else.
This sums it up pretty damn well. The writing was on the wall for a while, Delta buying 9E was the kiss of death.

Now its not written on the wall, its actually written on A4 paper with DL's letter head on it.

wow...absolutely it is the worst place to go. Get your head out of the clouds and look around. If you're not in the top 5% then it's by far the worst place to go...right up there with Great Lakes. There is a reason everyone who can is getting out ASAP. It's a death trap.

No they won't if you're proactive about reviewing your file before you get to that step and get everything removed that can be removed.

What I don't understand is how are you supposed to get the two years as Captain if they are downgrading for the foreseeable future?

This will be your biggest hurdle, not whether you can stay in line or not.

Got my EtD email invite today. I laughed and laughed, and then cried and cried.

This is true right now but any fee for departure airline is a lot closer to 9E's circumstances than you might think. Compass might be the place to be today, that might no be the case next month. There are no safe bets. Don't forget, this game is a marathon not a sprint.

How long have you been in this industry? You know how this industry works.
