Had a new hire ride the jumpseat saying the new hire classes are being told Delta is selling endeavor. Hilarious. 🤡🤡

 

Who could they possibly sell it to? American and United have no use for it and any more RJ’s. None of the LCC carriers would use RJ’s . If anything Delta would just fold everything on to their certificate along with all of us or just abolish the name Endeavor, try and sell off the RJ’s ( Keeping some on their certificate) and Rehire all of us. I hope the first part of my sentence would be true cause I’m too senior and old to start over ( get rehired, which is why I didn’t flow at this late stage of life ) . Maybe the bridge agreement has some stipulations to it , I’m not sure.

 

Maybe to Skywest like they did with ASA

 

Highly unlikely SkyWest wants those POS 900’s. The best news I heard in a while was when Delta decided to drop the 200, hopefully they eventually dump the 900’s as well.

 

Or (God forbid) to TSH and Hulas Canodias like they did with Compass. They could merge with GoJet for CRJ economies of scale.

 

Who told them? We have a guy at mesa that starts false rumors in the school house to see how far they go and how long it takes to come back to him.

 

Sounds like in character, and I don’t even know him.

 

Skywest can’t even handle what they have already.

 

well if we go by Delta’s history I don’t think we will see the steam engine 717 or RJ900 go away anytime soon. Delta flew the 200 until it was beaten like a rented mule and if we weren’t short Captains and the retention and 60 percent pay increases actually worked , they would still be flying the 200, LOL… Delta flew the Diesel Griesel 9 so long that the Feds finally forbade them from flying them up and down the east coast unless they did a complete upgrade on all the avionics to fly in that airspace and Delta finally decided to send them to the Arizona resting place🤣 . Skywest and all the other Regionals can’t even staff and handle the flying they got . There is no place to sell or offload Endeavor . If they can’t solve the Captain shortfall at 9E they got 4 choices : more money ( unlikely unless you’re talking 200,000 dollar additional bonuses or higher before it would begin to get people to stay and upgrade) , seniority/Longevity numbers for all Captains at 9E ( unlikely unless they swallow their pride and finally admit we are doing the same thing and are the same as mainline ) , fold all 9E onto the mainline certificate along with all employees and figure out the merge and run it separately for a few years and bring the fence down then ( most likely to happen in my personal opinion) or bring all 9E assets to mainline certificate minus all the employees (unlikely as that would be astronomical training costs ) . But who knows . From everything we have seen in this crazy business I could be wrong on all counts . Let’s just pray that all the banks don’t start failing or we might all be in the cheese line 💀. Lord spare us 🙏🏼

 

You don’t need to reply twice. SkyWest and every other regional can’t handle what they have. That’s why everyone is parking airplanes. Best news I’ve heard.

They’ll off load Endeavor before they ever bring them over. You’re not getting stapled to the bottom of our seniority list. Good luck waiting for that to play out. I still don’t understand why you didn’t just take the flow.
