I am not interested in selling one bit of scope at this company. Whether it be a RJ or through a JV.
I’d ask any EDV pilot a serious question. 12 months ago had a flow down been proposed and 500 of our UNA guys flow down to EDV and sit in the left seat, what would your thoughts be on that?
I am 100% positive no Endeavor pilot would have been receptive to that. The same way that no Delta pilot is interested in more RJs or an Aero Mexico 787 flying our passenger through Mexico City to where ever.
Scope is the ONE SECTION that I think every pilot at this company unanimously agrees that we need to not only tighten up, but protect.
Delta can fly their 35 large RJs all day. Without the connection on the side. Whether they do that or not, I’m all for them hiring Endeavor pilots.
This is a classic case of the book you read when you were a kid. If you give a mouse a cookie…… instead it’s “If you give Delta 35 large RJs…. They’ll want a few wide bodies too.”
