Endeavor will be sold in the near future. Once the 900 operation is short handed...look for a for sale sign, or a go away sign...AKA Comair

Doubtful, we don't have any assets to sell, just a seniority list full of senior pilots. Also, we will be so integrated operationally with Delta, a new company would have to drain significant resources to operate this airline away from the mothership.

The thing is, if Delta wants to grow as an airline in the future, it can't keep flushing pilots down the toilet.

That's just it....I'm convinced they could care less. I'm thinking pennies to sell us or shut us down. Anyone who thinks Endeavor is unique to the regional model is smoking crack. At the end of the day...Endeavor = a merger gone terribly bad. These three airlines should have never merged.

I disagree. This situation would make for a very attractive acquisition at the right price. There would be zero overlap in departments. No tangible assets isnt always a bad thing.

Endeavor would be a near perfect acquisition for a privately held airline with expiring contracts on a less desirable fleet. Especially if they already had 7-900 pilots. Don't think about it as a pilot. Think about it from a numbers position.

Obviously far fetched, but crazier things have happened.

Sure, why not integrate another pilot group? It was a piece of cake for the first three.

Isn't that what AA/US is doing?

ASA and Comair were in the same position too. Didn't stop Delta from kicking them to the curb.

LOL. You have no idea how much $$$ Delta is making of of their in house feed which they wholly own. If you think the difference between a $90 per hour senior Capt vs a $73 per hour junior Capt then you really aren't seeing the big picture. And yes I know, the senior guy gets a couple extra weeks of vacation and a little extra 401K match but it still doesn't add up.

ASA wasn't "kicked" to the curb. You might want to read up on why they were sold. DAL needed the cash quick for Amex.
