Delta = pure genius. 40-45 pilots leaving per month? Perfect for Delta, as they bring Endeavor down to 81 planes which is approx 950 total pilots. In fact, if there are 1850 pilots on property today, Delta wants ~900 pilots gone by end of 2015. Raise pay? Why? Delta is getting exactly what it wants from Endeavor. Only pilots make the mistake of thinking things aren't going according to plan. For Delta, it literally can't get any better. They'll let the rate reset debacle happen at other DCI carriers, force them to do it lower costs than before, and end of 2015 shut down Endeavor. Latest end 2016. By 2017, the only Endeavor Air that will exist is Mel Gibson's in 'Ransom'
