There is no guarantee that I'd pass the 2nd attempt at the Delta Online Assessment, and there is no guarantee that I'd make it through the interview process. If I do get a Delta CJO and have to wait a year that doesn't sound too bad since I would not be commuting and have the military retirement on top of the Endeavor paycheck. On top of that I would not be metered by the other legacy airlines being at Endeavor.
NK is opening an ATL base and F9 already has one. If the reason you weren’t hired at DL was the usual - non-current because of flying a desk your last few years to finish up your 20 - an Airbus type and a few hundred hours of flying 200 pax around in an A321NEO would certainly be a superior resume booster than flying an RJ without the risk of you being placed in the regional feed (we need to keep them there) penalty box.
