Following a Delta Connection CRJ-900 accident in Toronto, the airline is offering $30,000 to each passenger that was on the flight that crashed in Toronto, Canada, according to The Minnesota Star Tribune.

If the passengers accept, the company would dish out about $2.3 million.

Spokesperson Morgan Durrant said the money is simply just a gesture with “no strings attached and does not impact rights.” Delta CEO Ed Bastian says the pilots on the plane were “experienced.”

Following speculation on social media and misinformation, Delta has issued the following statement regarding the pilots involved in Monday’s crash:

Endeavor Air and Delta are correcting disinformation in social media containing false and misleading assertions about the flight crew of Endeavor Air 4819.

• Captain: Mesaba Airlines, a progenitor company of Endeavor Air, hired the captain in October 2007. He has served both as an active duty Captain and in pilot training and flight safety capacities. 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.
• First Officer: Hired in January 2024 by Endeavor Air and completed training in April. She has been flying for Endeavor Air since that time. As with any airline pilot, her flight experience mandated minimum requirements set by U.S. Federal regulations.

Both crew members are qualified and FAA certified for their positions.

The airline suggests that assertions that the co-pilot Kendal Michelle Swanson failed training events are false.

The Delta/Endeavor plane that crashed in Canada was piloted Kendal Michelle Swanson who was an instructor pilot for a small propellor aircraft a year ago the source says.

Another source said she was still in training as of January 2025 and struggled all the way through her training but the airline kept her on.

However both he ATP and CFI certificates were issued on 1/9/25, indicating that she had a change of address and requested new certificates.

Notably, Endeavour Air is yet to reveal the names of the pilots who were flying the small aircraft. Delta, meanwhile, said on Wednesday that the pilots who were flying the plane were experienced.

A first officer of a plane waiting to taxi caught the moment of incident yesterday at Toronto Pearson Airport, Canada.

The Bombardier CRJ-900 can be seen on final approach then performing a hard landing on runway 23.

It looks the aircraft was a bit sideway, probably due to a strong crosswind, then bounced which could have broke the right main gear.

The right wing then struck the runway and broke, making the plane to catch fire due to the broken fuel tank.

The aircraft then flipped upside down and slid until it came to stop in the snow.

All 80 people on board the Delta flight from Minnesota have been evacuated but three people have been seriously injured during the incident.
