Did you use the computer in the lobby and forget to log out or something?
Happy employees = more productive employees = more profits. That's the point of morale boosters. For instance, JetBlue was unable to keep its pilots happy, and they unionized.
Management has determined that 9E, and that investment, which a flow could save, is better off without it. A flow being a no cost item, which management has determined is too expensive to be applied to solve the issues 9E has. Why?
I don't see how you could draw any other conclusion that a flow would cheapen the hiring process, causing negative feedback from the mainline pilot group, thus degrading employee relations, ultimately costing Delta money. That's where a no cost item would cost too much. If you have another idea why they would let 9E go to the wayside, I'm all ears.
It wouldn't surprise me though, if management started up a new regional from scratch. That way they could provide a flow like the other airlines, without the negatives I mentioned above with Endeavor.
