To the OP...I would really be hesitant to join an airline owned by Delta. I would be very nervous about how and when they will shift flying away from you because they just can. No contracts to break, no promises to fulfill. Richard Anderson has proven himself over and over again that he is ruthless and does not make decisions based on the feelings of the pilots but what will make the most money. He will sell Endeavor to the highest bidder and will therefore get rid of the bonus and the SSP whateveritscalled now. Their fleet IS shrinking.
Compass is the opposite of that whole scenario. We are not owned by Delta, we do have a contract with them (which makes it harder for them to take away airplanes if they so choose), we have a SUPER young pilot group with about 1/2 a dozen lifers so we are rock bottom cheap to operate. We have no 50 seaters and we are adding a ton of lift for American Airlines. It's a no brainer.
That's what a CEO is supposed to be like, you redundant blatherskite. Not caring about the past, I'd rather be owned by Delta than a holding company. And I would hazard that when Compost's pilot contract is up for renewal, they would merge Compost with Republic and you can enjoy your nil-negotiated concessions. And to prove that I'm better than you, I wish you're off to a major/legacy of your choice by then.
