Yes but once again Endeavor is not an outsource . Delta owns the certificate , the planes , the employees , they assign the MGT team to run it and they pay us . On the NY stock exchange it says Delta/ EDV. Republic , Skywest and all other international carriers that Delta pays for services and that are separate companies is called outsourcing. Some years ago Delta created a certificate to operate an airline called SONG . It was an airline within an airline. They pilfered aircraft already on the Delta certificate and pilots , FA’ s , mechanics, gate agents, etc. to be part of song , for less pay of course . That wasn’t an outsource . It Is the same as Endeavor . SONG eventually was done away with and everything was just folded back onto the Delta certificate.
