The problem lies in the fact that by bumping endeavor down in priority we create a tangible cost to delta because they have to spend more money buying people off oversold flights or the operation of endeavor (carrying DL pax and generating revenue for our PS check whenever they come back) suffers. This is not a 0 cost item to delta and will require negotiation capital to change. I personally would rather we focus that negotiation capital on issues that affect current DL pilots or tangible monetary benefits for retirees (like improvements to retiree medical). if this is truly a huge issue let’s address it in section 1 of our contract.
