NO MORE RJs!

I think you underestimate greed. Dangle enough cash in front of the group and they'll gladly relax scope. Thinking that the current generation is somehow wiser and more united than the last is naïve to an extreme.

Endeavor will never be absorbed or stapled by mainline, if our market goes away, then Endeavor will be shut down, and the pilots that stay will be given a severance package by Delta.

If Delta is true to their word they are now focused more on product quality and reliability, there will be no more talk of this because they know ALPA won't even entertain it.

Is it normal to not get a response after politely declining a CJO or does the company just not care . They were pretty nice in the interview .

Okay hardo, he politely turned down a job. Happens all the time and at least he did the right thing and sent an e-mail.

To the OP, I assume you should have gotten an e-mail I'd wait a few more days. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

I'm not sure how it was a waste of time , every airline I interviewed for told me to make sure I explore my options.As great as this place seems , the bases didn't work out .

They didn't look at that before applying, give me a break. Now they want
the company to thank them for interviewing for a job they wouldn't take before the interview and waste ever more time and $.

Agreed. It wasn't a waste of time. This is how professionals explore their options. They interview, ask questions, research, then make their decision on which company works best for them. And then they politely and professionally inform the companies they choose not to join, that they will be declining the offer.

Some companies may ask what the deciding factor was and then, if possible, they can address that factor therefore making themselves more attractive to the next applicant.

Good luck with whichever company you decide works best for you.
