Any "Latest & Greatest" about Endeavor?
Nice try but epic fail. The pilots are told all of this upfront. Nothing is left to chance and it’s fair to all parties. Delta doesn’t want to force someone to come here if the pilot feels they want to be somewhere else. Likewise, Delta has up until the offer is made to come to mainline indoc to decide if the pilot is the right fit for Delta.
Propel is all about options for these pilots and it is crafted with that in mind. No promises are made by Delta and the pilot must earn their keep every step of the way.

It exists in the form of the DGI or guaranteed application review. Everyone currently at a DCI carrier has a 3+ year career head start on the Propel pilots. Again, nothing is 100% guaranteed for the Propel pilots just like those current programs for the DCI pilots.

I know it’s one of those “ I have a friends uncles brother” hearsay rumors on an Internet forum but I posted in the PSA forum a few weeks ago that I was told by someone who was at the meeting in ATL that Delta actually is giving preference to AA WOs pilots that meet their hiring metrics as a strategic business move. They said it would be ramping up over the next few years to strain AAs feed. This person has a position in the company to know this kind of information and no reason to lie about it.

I’m going to throw the bull****** flag. Delta would be stupid to try to pull something like that when looking at the number of retirements that American has coming up knowing American would turn around and be able to drain every DCI carrier or captains in a single year if they felt like it.
We see in these threads every week about how Delta can’t make their mind up or keep DCI management quite and seemingly disengaged from employees. Do you think they really don’t know how to make decisions? No! It’s just Deltas strategy nothing less! I can say without a shred of doubt that that’s how they do business and it’s not a “ the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing” thing at all. I mean look at the lines of BS they have fed Endeavor about growth. Are they lying about what’s coming to you there? Possibly but highly unlikely! They are making a bit of planned instability to keep you on edge and humble so no one ends up “Comaired” with them looking like the heros!

I nor anyone else said the legacy carriers were or will have staffing issues. They likely never will but good strategy is the key to successful business. I don’t think it’s “the dumbest stuff ever” by any means! It’s a way to slow DCI depletion and slightly weaken AAs feed and mainline flows causing a double edged sword of financial cost. Just a very slight increase in hiring targeting a few people from each WO AA regional costs AA a lot overall. Regional recruiting costs, training cycles, and higher wages to retain regional pilots until their flow date plus increased ots recruiting and HR positions at mainline. Sounds pretty expensive to me. You have to understand that at the level of management that makes these strategies they don’t have the human aspect of the business as a priority it’s all numbers!

It probably will but not because of this. Its a zero sum game and this has been an on and off again thing for decades. In the grand scheme of things nothing will change and no airline will harm any other to any significant extent. Hiring LCC pilots OTOH very well may...
Whoa! I never thought about this but you're absolutely right!!! Delta's complex masterpiece strategy to beat AA revealed here for all to see and the best part, there's nothing AA can do to stop it! Unless maybe, just maybe they have people there with IQs that rival yours and will sniff this plan out, but it seems so complicated on the surface that I doubt they can. This could be the final deathblow for AA.
