Since endeavor was formed they have not sent anywhere close to AA flow and they barely sent anyone all of 2018, they have probably sent less than 300 since the inception of Endeavor..
That’s simply not true. Most of the movement I mentioned happened under the SSP which occurred after emergence from bankruptcy while the company was Endeavor. It has been almost 6 years now that “Endeavor” has been in existence as a wholly owned, over 5.5 with the Endeavor name. Yes, the people who moved to DL under that program were Pinnacle/Colgan/Mesaba originally, but that’s because hardly anyone was hired from 2011-2014 (and a somewhat faster trickle from 2009-2011). It makes sense that movement has slowed over the last 12 months due to the way the hiring programs were structured, the lapse in hiring 2009-2014, and Delta’s recent slow down in hiring. But the fact remains we had 800 Endeavor pilots move from Endeavor to Delta 2013-2018.
