Thats the thing Cog, as an Endeavor Air employee they work for Delta Air Lines Inc, as is the employees of Delta Private Jets. As a matter of fact, Delta receives several tax breaks because Endeavor employees are “Delta employees”. The thing is, you are no longer a Delta employee in anyway, shape, or form, you separated when you retired.

The real question is why are you so worried about maybe 4-6,000 people?
How many people does DAL hire each year? Would something magically change for you if Endeavor was absorbed into the mainline brand DAL overnight?
Should former Northwest pilots receive something less because they were “acquired not hired” and are not actually Delta?

I really do not understand your elitism here, that is what it is. You think your better because you had a double breasted suit for 20 years and you are owed something in perpetuity ahead of the regional trash and their family that are beneath you because you flew “mainline Delta’s”.
