Show me 2 pilots leaving per day again and I’ll believe you, but you know you’re grasping at straws to solidify the opinion that anything short of a flow will result in the failure of Endeavor.
You misunderstand, it's not the lack of flow, it's trying to staff DCI with Propel pilots. If pilots get rejected from the Propel program it is unlikely they come to DCI, whereas someone from the DGI has given years of service to DCI before their Delta interview. By the law of supply and demand, salaries at DCI will balloon higher and higher.
