Endeavor Flow for New Hires

[CX880]

Exactly. DL hires pilots via their HR team and they set the policies. Right now they seem hell bent on hiring pilots with 3.0 College GPAs or better. That is what THEY have decided. They also created the EtD program.

It should be a lesson though, that while the Delta biz model at Endeavor has completely failed, they will make no meaningful effort to attract or retain their pilots. It makes no financial sense to prop up Endeavor even after bringing every function under Deltas blanket without violating dual carrier status.

Unfortunately, you may be right. Just look at Comair. Delta paid 2 Billion dollars for them and eventually closed them down with a gain of Zero dollars. Not quite the best financial decision. So losing billions of dollars to prove a point (low wages in this case) is not beyond them.

I'm sorry, but raising regional wages at Endeavor IS financially possible from Delta. You guys make so little now, a small percentage increase (especially for the FOs) would be a drop in the bucket to a huge, Fortune 500 company making several billion dollars in profit every year. But instead, they prefer slave wages and newhire classes show how popular that decision is..

You have to hand it to Delta. Only Delta can get a pilot group to vote 85% yes, publish a fleet plan/end-state of 81 CR9s, and still get a portion of pilots to actually believe they'll keep as many CR2s as they can staff. Delta = pure genius. 40-45 pilots leaving per month? Perfect for Delta, as they bring Endeavor down to 81 planes which is approx 950 total pilots. In fact, if there are 1850 pilots on property today, Delta wants ~900 pilots gone by end of 2015. Raise pay? Why? Delta is getting exactly what it wants from Endeavor. Only pilots make the mistake of thinking things aren't going according to plan. For Delta, it literally can't get any better. They'll let the rate reset debacle happen at other DCI carriers, force them to do it lower costs than before, and end of 2015 shut down Endeavor. Latest end 2016. By 2017, the only Endeavor Air that will exist is Mel Gibson's in 'Ransom'
