Regardless or not, they are a Delta owned company, and active employees should very well go ahead of retirees/others. It's the same way here. We're just lucky we don't do it like American..Then people would really be crying a river.

The Endeavor employee is not a Delta employee. He “works for Delta” in the same way the caterers and fuellers do.

The Delta retiree was an employee at one point.

I didn't know Delta owned Gate Gourmet or Menzies, do they also fly the airplane? No?

"At one point" as in, no longer.

What does the paycheck and ID say?

Their ID actually says "Property of DELTA AIR LINES, INC"

Nice try. Just give up.

I'd have to ask my wife about the paycheck as I haven't seen what one looks like in 5 years, but the ID says "Endeavor Air Delta Connection" with a Delta logo on it, the back it says:
Property of Delta Air Lines, INC.|
And gives an address in Atlanta Georgia.

Again, not an employee for Delta. But we are a Delta subsidiary and are still in active service for Delta Air Lines. A retiree is not.

Ok. But what does the front of the ID say?

When they fill out an airline app, do they list “Delta Air Lines” as they’re current employer?

How about their W2?

Tax return?

What they tell chicks at the bar doesn’t cut it.

Someone should definitely give up.

Endeavor uses Delta payroll to save money.

The S3A issue is because Delta was having to bump revenue passengers to give positive space to commuting endeavor crew members.

So y’all really think that Ed Bastian would rather have a retiree going to play golf make it on the airplane while an Endeavor pilot going to work -who is contributing to the continued success of Delta- gets left behind? It seems like Endeavor is treated as “part of DL” when it’s convenient, and treated as very, very separate when it’s not. Does AA allow retirees to go ahead of active wholly-owned employees? I’m asking because I don’t know...
