Delta will choose to ignore endeavors further complaints as long as attrition is low (surprisingly low) and classes are half full or full.

Pilots have poured in here for the DGI, and there's only a promise with no contractual enforcement. You think you deserve more (and God bless) but you think you're deal at Endeavor is better than the American guys or you'd have left. All the brave pilots who were willing to leave for better opportunities and made life better for everyone at Endeavor by their choice and followthrough are gone. There's no one here to bail this pilot group out, except for the 3 or 4 guys a month going to United and American.

So, if it's that bad, leave. Otherwise, you made a choice to come here, try and make it better by getting those retention bonuses converted and making Endeavor and Delta put that DGI into the contract so they don't welch later. You obviously don't want a flow badly and staples are illegal. So complain about something more productive, like hot dogs coming in 8s and buns in 10...
Choice? It was my choice to come here as much as it was for NWA pilots to go to Delta. Your well thought out explanation is all great and good and I agree. My problem is with how easy it is for mainline management to take advantage of poor or substandard buyout policies or legalities when buying out a regional.
