I just point this out because you've said many time you don't understand why you didn't get the job.
You ought to take the rejection as a compliment and move on - You're solid Delta material and you know it.
Now as far as there never being a reason a newish hire under 40 with a clean slate would stay at Frontier if a legacy called... Bunk. There are a myriad of good reasons why individual human beings do the things they do, and only rarely is because they are "outright stupid." Life is never as simple as you elude.
I don't know about the future of the Denver base, but I would stay at Frontier forever to avoid commuting to Atlanta or Newark. Bump me out of Denver and well - that's another story.
Very possible Sulkair, I just don't think they (Delta) are going to call me - at least for many years after the astronauts have been hired.
I really would be happy at Frontier, and would have expected to have a lengthy career there. But yep... If a Legacy called I would have bailed UNLESS things changed while I was there. Continued growth and a new payscale? Very likely I would have stayed.
