Despite what some Endeavor pilots think Delta is not making moves to try and aggravate the pilots at Endeavor.
On the contrary. I think Delta is half-heartledly trying to boost moral by announcing programs to deceive the current pilot group. Most aren't falling for it. Some are. 9E isn't the only regional airline doing the "Delta" interview. Ask the hiring managers who do the "Delta" interview and see what they have to say about it. Delta doesn't need the EtD program. If Delta needed a legit program they would have put a lot more effort into it and would have made it more effective and efficient. It was a ploy and a failure. How much money do you think Delta has put into this EtD? it can't be much...not enough to motivate Delta to really care about it.
