I hope there are a few more years of flying available, but it's very obvious that Delta is gonna bail as soon as the ATL connection contract is up.
I don't work at your company, but I find it veeerrryy hard to believe that seniority is your problem. I worked at AE now Envoy. You guys have senior pilots with years of exceptional experience flying passengers for Dixie Airlines. THAT is valuable! Don't short change yourself. Experience is not the problem. Look elsewhere. EJT is more than likely mismanaged and unable to realize that experienced pilots are an asset and Delta needs to pay up, just as they do for Endv. People quit the industry and don't return from this whip saw. The Legacies are the one s loosing the inexpensive labor in the end.
