DL mainline guy here.

1) I (and others) are/were aware of your orange lanyard / no hat / progression for all....we also have Captains that still use flip phones and don’t know we fly the CS-100/A-220, so don’t be too surprised that not every ML guy knew about it.

2) I feel it’s safe to safe a large majority of mainline guys would love for Endeavor guys/gals to flow up. We don’t get a say in who Mgmt hires and DL could have signed a standalone flow deal anytime they wanted to. We just don’t want it tied to scope.

3) we still have 717/220’s parked, yet Mgmt complains they need the lift...if they need the -900’s that bad, then put them in the mainline fleet...pay rates are already in the PWA, and I’m sure endeavor has more than a handful of qualified pilots who would love to make the jump to mainline to fly them.

4) I don’t have any resentment toward endeavor pilots...LOA9 and the 35 RJ’s are our battle...you guys look at the offer in front of you, compare the pros/cons, and vote what’s best for you.

Hope to see you at mainline in the near future.
