I agree those three will attract more folks here. And I think #1 is coming. I got an email a few weeks ago inviting me to apply to Endeavor (not realizing I already work there...thought of having some fun with that but decided not to) and in the invite it stated that Endeavor would offer a path to Delta by offering a preferential interview. Now could that be a lie? Sure it can as the SSP only applies now to captains and those who were on property when the concessions went into effect. I'd like to think optimistically that they will extend the SSP to all and new hires. Now the SSP needs to work better than 50% job offer rate too or still no one will come here. As for #2 and #3, I hope you are right, but I think getting that back would be overly optimistic.
