Regarding ["want to be at Delta you need to look at the bigger picture here'],.. While this is true, there is really nothing that Endeavor pilots or Endeavor MEC can reasonably do about it. It would be lunacy to turn down an offer of a flow, our MEC has been working on contractual progression (we have none of any sort- DGI is not in our contract either) for years and has been their #1 priority. If we turned it down, it would be a sure way to make Delta management mad - I would say near impossible to get anything in the way of contractual progression down the line.
This really isn't a 9E issue- this is a Delta / Delta MEC issue regarding scope on the 35 RJ's. The flow is a separate issue, if Delta flies those 35 RJ's that isn't the fault of Endeavor pilots or their MEC- that is Delta alone.
that statement was in regards to people maybe being mad at why delta pilots don’t want this agreement to come to fruition. There are a few who believe the 9E MEC is out of line considering they came to this agreement with the full knowledge of what this issue Delta pilots have. Most though understand that of course they are going to attempt to get an improvement. The flow though isn’t the issue except for the flow back they want to give us AFTER they refused to do so when pilots needed it most.
