Endeavor to Delta
Everyone,
Endeavor to Delta sounds like an amazing opportunity. I have read every single article on the subject and how the hiring process goes. I understand that the contract says pilots will have to fly a minimum of 2 years in the left seat with Endeavor before upgrading to Delta. After about 5 years at Endeavor, you should be upgraded to Delta. If this is all true, why are there so many pilots complaining about EtD? Delta is an awesome company and I know Endeavor has their problems (which regional doesn't?) but I really think Delta is about to help this regional out. I will start applying to regionals soon and as of right now EtD seems like the best option.
Any opinions, ext. would be appreciated!

Delta will be hiring off the street, and you could go to some other airline, upgrade faster and be in a position to apply and get hired by Delta.

A lot could happen in 9 years, like the program being terminated, since there is no guarantee in writing.
