@catboatsailor,
Are you suggesting that Endeavor pilots going to work get priority over mainline pilots on a mainline Jumpseat? Whatever priority you guys figure out on your own metal has no bearing on the mainline pilots. Why would you say the DAL pilots would never go for it, unless you meant on mainline jumpseats? If that's the case, then yeah, that dog ain't never gonna hunt.

Delta's fleet plan for 9E was set with the Delta pilot contract and 9E's bankruptcy. That pilot contract REQUIRES Delta to have no more than 125 50-seat jets in operation by the end of 2015. They have also said many times before that they would prefer no more than 100 50-seaters by that time.
I was also jumpseating on AirTran recently and those pilots told me the AirTran name and all 717's will be gone by the end of 2014, even if the transition to DL isn't complete yet.
This tells me that DL will have all 717's online by mid 2015 at the latest, and if they can't staff the 50-seat jets, who cares! The 717's were bought to replace most of that flying anyway. 9E is just trying to stop the bleeding until next year. After that, they will only need to staff 81 CRJ-900's.

Does your ID say Delta Air Lines on it? No, you're not a Delta employee.
