9E to travel ahead of DL retirees

Where is it on APC? Looked and couldnt find it under majors. Also why would Endeavor be sold? If anything, expressjet will be merged into skywest now that they are loosing the Delta contract. Hopefully Endeavor doesnt turn into another Comair type situation where they make money then sell off the regional.

It’s under the Delta latest and greatest thread. Maybe Delta will get rid of us in 5 years. @Derg knows better than I do. I’m just here to get my experience, make a couple of good memories and move on. Hopefully things stay positive for those guys that are right around the corner from retirement and don’t plan on leaving.

It literally comes down to corporate raiding only Delta is doing it instead of an outside source.
In the 1980s Icahn developed a reputation as a "corporate raider" after profiting from the hostile takeover and asset stripping of the American airline TWA.[2][3

I know who Ichan is. Some of us were around when that happened. And no, it’s not corporate raiding when you buy a company, put money into it to create a more valuable asset, and then sell it for a profit. You need to do a bit more research on a variety of subjects beyond just cutting and pasting Wikipedia.

I’m curious what makes you think that?

If you look at the medium-term fleet plan with the CS series, owning a regional literally makes no sense when you intend on doing most of that level of flying yourself.

It's not personal, but judging by the history of the airline, if EDV is on the books in 3 years, I'd be very surprised.

Think of it like a deep fat fryer. They're delicious, convenient and make awesome french fries. Now you pick up an Air Fryer, does the exact same job, hardly any oil and ultimately healthier. But you've only got a limited cupboard space...

The chicken was delicious and the buffalo wings… to die for.

These are the Korean-style wings:

And this is why I’m absolutely shocked how many times in the very short time I’ve been here I’ve heard guys I’m flying with doing NOTHING to move on.
