All feedback is appreciated however it's to be noted that the lanyards are not a piece to "force Delta's hand" or bully them into a flow. The point we're making is to get a conversation started and to tell our union and management that we want flow on the negotiating table.

Endeavor isn't a bad place, however now is the time to start making a change. A five year contract extension is a long time period when retirements are becoming in full swing and the airline model is changing. You can choose to stay at Endeavor, however many of us want to be at a major for our own reasons including long term compensation. It's clear our reps need to hear from us and if you disagree with flow, tell them. The lanyards are just another channel of communication. To a few of your points earlier, we indeed have four year degrees, unblemished records and attend the career fairs. We also want to make this place better and want to help this place ensure the best candidates are hired. Our current contract + flow is a way to ensure that. This is about getting the conversation started, whether you agree or not, at least we are doing something about it.
