Also with all the hiring there will be movement and Delta wants Endeavor to succeed. Some might say why not improve percentage in SSP, this is more complicated. I think current percentage is better than it would be if you were applying off the street, a lot better. Movement will come and upgrades will happen the doom and gloom types want to scare you away from endeavor since they have an axe to grind.
Better percentage huh... You mean for senior CA, middle of the pack CA, current CA being downgraded to FO or current FOs? Because the way SSP affects those groups is night and day in some cases.
As for the movement, upgrades and such... You are aware that 9E has announced a fleet reduction to 81 airplanes right? This will leave a surplus of several hundred pilots; let me guess, you're hoping majors hiring and FO attrition will cushion that, right? Big gamble there by wanting to come to 9E as a fresh 2013 new hire with no seniority in that situation.
No axe to grind, just trying to bring the coffee a little closer so every body can get a good whiff...
