I just think that Daddy Delta knows very well what the plan is for Endeavor. Delta is the best run airline out there and has each and every step planned out very carefully in this "stable" environment. Of course, another recession or, heaven forbid another 9/11 event, would definitely throw the airline off course and there would be a lot of unknowns. However, I think Delta knows and is meticulously managing Endeavor. I give RA a lot of credit because he's a very smart businessman who has made Delta very successful. Don't be fooled by the BS Endeavor Management reveals because it's for their own gain...not the employees. Everyone there is just a number and is disposable. It's about the money. 9E needs to control the flow of pilots in and out and to do that they will say what the need to. I would never ever put it past them to lie over and over again to get what they need.
