Two things…because both companies are owned by Delta Air Lines, INC, I would imagine that would make it easier for a prenuptial agreement, but Delta could just decide to bring the airplanes over to mainline and close the doors at Endeavor, and offer the pilots an opportunity to come over with their EDV seniority. That would probably be much more efficient than going through the whole merger process. Delta is very cost conscious and whichever process is cheaper and more efficient will carry the day. Maybe there is a bigger tax benefit to closing up shop, acquiring the aircraft at mainline, and writing off endeavor at a loss somehow?? The employees already work for Delta, just close one division and transfer employees and assets to the mainline division. Think Comair, but we keep the aircraft and employees.

Also, why is this discussion going on? Have our union divisions been tasked by management with talking out a solution or process by management? Or is this just typical Pilot speculation? Whatever happens, I hope things work our for the better for our Endeavor brethren and sisters. I’ve always been treated well on them, and have nothing but respect.
