I believe “Song” pilots had a different contract as well.
What are you smoking man? "Song" was flown by pilots on the Delta seniority list under the Delta PWA. They may have flown into TPA on a Delta branded 757 and flown out on a Song branded 757. They were completely interchangeable. As for the non-union FAs or other agents, that's irrelevant. Apples to oranges. Endeavor pilots are not under the Delta PWA, and are owned by the same parent company that owns Delta Air Lines. They are not Delta pilots. You can say it's so and wish it so all you want, but it just ain't true.
It's so funny to read all this stuff again. These are the same arguments many of my Comair brothers used in the early 2000s. Look how that turned out. I keep telling you that you're repeating history. If you want to be a Delta pilot, fill out an application. Stop with the seniority grab hopes. It didn't work then and it won't work now.
