Side note- As a former 9E, I implore them to realize that any Scope losses at Delta are very bad. Most people I know there are more than capable of passing the DGI that now exists. Seriously, I spent 4 years at 9E and plan to spend 34 at Delta. If you’re reading this as an Endeavor pilot, ask yourself “Do I want to flow after a longer wait to be a Delta pilot where there’s less flying done by mainline. Or do I want to interview, succeed and then get hired wayyy sooner as a Delta pilot with more flying done in house?”
They will choose option A… because the mantra at the regional airlines are “get on a mainline seniority list at all costs.” This isn’t their problem, this is our problem. And we have a couple nerds on this thread talking about when to put flaps out.
DALPA better pull their heads out of their asses and put their foot down on this issue. If you let them get away with this—it’s a MAJOR loss for us. I don’t care about flow. Flow them all day long. I’d love to see their entire pilot group here. They can come here and fly the 35 RJs. That would be a step in the right direction. DO NOT TIE OUR SCOPE TO FLOW AT ENDEAVOR.
If they don’t take the deal on their end. Delta will offer it to Skywest. Someone is gonna take it. I don’t have ill will towards 9E pilots or their MEC. I think this is a new low for our management team, and DALPA’s response here is critical.
Write your reps. That’s all I have to say on this front. I’ll be going for maximum screwage on my Covid shots/NFLY and won’t feel one bit bad about it.
Back to your “what’s the best time to put flaps out” conversation avgeeks.
