We do work for Delta, they own us, the same as you.

Great, then if you have an app in you can just delete it since you already work here.

Ouch. Mic drop.

Now prepare for the “I never applied and have no desire,” rebuttal.

If you don't have a DAL seniority number, you don't work for DAL. As you said you are owned by DAL. Now just to stir the pot, I'll add the age old statement....Commuting is a choice!:eek::D

Uhh, I disagree. Unfortunately, Delta has control over this and I will likely just buy a ticket when I'm retired. BTW, the old idea of "screw the retirees because they don't matter" eventually catches up with you... If you are lucky. OFG

No one is saying screw the retirees. I'm just saying they don't need to go ahead of people who active employees, to include contractor employees.

I restate my opinion that most Endeavor pilots are being short sighted if they celebrate getting priority over DAL retirees. Of course not all, but I have to assume most aspire to some day be a DAL retiree. I do agree that this is another one of the 99% (made up statistic) of online discussions that has zero bearing on any real world outcomes since as you correctly mentioned, this is up to management and not the pilot groups. I have a feeling management probably has PS for life so what do they care about S3A vs S3B, they and their families won't be affected...

BTW, you wouldn't have a WO contractor flying your passengers around if there was no scope relief. Who voted in scope relief? I will gladly accept a history lesson if I am going the wrong direction with this, but regional pilots can't be blamed for what mainline guys allowed management to do in the first place.
