And the the cargo dog... Yes the objective is to be at mainline, flying mainline aircraft for, mainline pay. Not to work for mainline, flying regional airplanes, for a quarter of the money.

All this stems from DL they said it publicly in a few meetings with ramp/pilots/inflight ext they will only have 3 “mega regionals “ overlapping each other...

Directly from the CEO of DCI, there will be three regionals. Skywest, Rah, and Endeavor. They are in negotiations to acquire Compass, which would be merged into us. If Hulas doesn't sell, then Delta takes the planes back at the end of next year.

To elaborate, the Delta Connection Senior Vice President is now the Endeavor CEO as of about 2 months ago and has not been quiet in saying 3 regionals while growing Endeavor from 30% of the DC feed to 45%. Adding GoJet and Compass’ airplanes to Endeavor (possibly converting 700s to 175SCs) would get them there, and we’re already starting to see overlap with Skywest moving into LGA in May.

I’d be cautious about going to a regional that only flies 10% of the DC feed, be it GoJet or Compass. It’s very risky as Delta will just transfer the planes, not the pilots. Just like they did at ASA.
