I'm gonna throw this out here and take it as you will.

Please don't hold this against Endeavor pilots. I can promise you that your management most certainly put a deal on the table and there was little "negotiating" from our MEC. We have zero power to tell DL how it is so I highly doubt we influenced much.

None of the 9E group wants to take away from your scope and all of you are exactly right, we won't get a single new plane from this deal. It's possible some of our parked 900s may come back but we all know 170/175s will go to Skywest and Republic.

If you ask me, I'd rather just fly a 200 on property at Delta until the opportunity to move up to a different fleet was available.

And just for perspective, I'm a Captain at 9E that was weeks away from my DL interview pre-covid. My "flow" would be 2-3 years at best. Not something I want to sit around and wait for.
