Think about cash burn and how long delta is willing to subsidize before just cutting their losses and outsourcing all over again.
So people often assume that because Endeavor pays their employees more than Skywest Or Republic that their operating costs are higher? And that might very well be the case? However, the CPA’s that Delta signs with Skywest or Republic also include profit margins. I mean why wouldn’t they? Endeavor doesn’t operate for profit. Hence why we will never get profit sharing. Delta gets those profits. Additionally, most office functions piggyback off of like departments at Delta in Atlanta. There’s very little duplication. The C tower in Minneapolis is Opps specific for the Airline/CRJ like dispatch, scheduling and also training and testing functions.
