They want you so they may be pushed up by your incoming carcass. In my opinion, they are no better than mainline pilots that sold out regional pilots. I guess maybe this eating our own is a pilot thing…. Too bad, I guess.

Also, if you come to Endeavor thinking you will be at delta in a few years… forget that pipe dream. Delta doesn't hold regional pilots in high regard, that's why you will never have an honest flow through. They are not going to open the gates to a bunch of loser pilots. In case you are wondering,,, that last sentence is not an opinion I hold concerning regional pilots. On the contrary, considering the multiple legs, long flight schedules and safety record, regional are some of the best pilots out there… which is another reason why delta's attitude towards us is frustrating.
That is a pretty bleak and narrow minded assessment in my opinion. This industry is so cyclical and volital that it requires different strategies as it changes. You mentioned Comair and how Delta dealt with them. Is that all you remember about Comair? How about the growth of Comair during the boom of the RJ's?
