Delta Air Lines and its regional subsidiary Endeavor Air have defended two pilots against the spread of online disinformation after their experience was called into question on social media.

On February 20, 2025, Delta declared that it was “correcting disinformation” regarding two Endeavor Air pilots who were involved in a serious crash at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) in Canada.

The US-carrier said that social media posts have been spread “containing false and misleading assertions” about the relevant captain and first officer.

Posts seen by AeroTime suggested that one of the pilots had struggled through their training and was a “brand new” hire.

Delta detailed that the Endeavor Air captain was originally employed by Mesaba Airlines (which merged with Pinnacle Airlines in 2012 to form Endeavor Air) in October 2007.

Delta stated: “Assertions that he failed training events are false. Assertions that he failed to flow into a pilot position at Delta Air Lines due to training failures are also false.”
