How would you feel if you had a CJO with Delta for a class date 3 months from now, but every 1500 hour CFI who started at Endeavor between now and your start date was senior to you. You’d essentially become a direct entry First Officer, never able to catch up on a seniority list. Merging seniority lists would kill hiring outside of said WO.
I’m pretty sure the Endeavor and Delta Unions just did it as a sort of show of solidarity.
