Metaphorically speaking, Delta didn't just take a beat up Toyota and start calling it a Lexus.

My knowledge of the company goes far deeper than a PowerPoint presentation. Before I went to the interview I researched industry data, publications and spoke with a top-level Delta finance guy here in Atlanta. I believe Endeavor is poised for success and will effect significant changes on the regional industry that other carriers will have to follow to survive. I would not have accepted Endeavor's offer without being confident of that.
