Going in circles now. Stock means nothing. You don’t think that if an Endeavor pilot applied to Delta one day and listed Delta Air Lines as an employer (with no wiggly stipulations and DBA’s and “subsidiary”) he wouldn’t be laughed out of the room.

And what should his tax return list as an employer? What does his W2 say? What does his ID say — and I’m not talking about “property of.” I’m asking what his ID says?

The arguments I see on this thread are hilarious, in a squeamish pretzel kind of way.
