You'll fly Delta passengers from Delta gates, employing Delta procedures, at 1/3 of the pay that you'd receive at mainline Delta. I believe that when Delta scores your app, your military experience is not a significant attribute compared to the possibility of paying you 1/3 of what Delta would have to pay you at mainline. If they see Endeavor on your app, I believe that you will not receive an invite to interview with Delta. Don't waste money on career fairs, professional app review services, or other nonsense. Go to Envoy or any airline that has a flow to mainline.
Is this really shocking? Mainline won't hire you outside of a hiring agreement if they have one. Even with Envoy you're going to be there 7 to 10 years before any chance with AA. The point is to keep the regional feed going, not to make you mainline pilot.
