All of the Compass flows are done for the year so you don't have to worry about them being senior to you in class.
There were only two classes in October. 10/6 with 36 people and yesterday with 50. Next class is November 4 with 115 per month. Not sure how many classes and how many people per class from there on out.
Junior equipment in any class is going to be NYC 88B guaranteed. 737 is going very senior because it pays better and has desirable bases overall. (ATL, LAX, SLC)

However your class date might also have flows in your actual class as their virtual class, and you all would get numbers based on SSN like everyone else. Then they are usually held back and won't show up for 2-3 months.
They also usually show up with equipment pre-assigned, so they usually don't "outbid" the rest of the class which is merely bidding on that the company released based on vacancies anyway.

When they started 90 days later with a new class, there was the appearance that flows got preferential assignments because some had 73n and A320 when those jets weren't offered to their indoc class.
Again, moot point for the rest of the year.

They got their seniority numbers with us based on the last 4, put in their preferences with us, and got their assignments. So there were 79 assignments offered.

FWIW, I've never seen an FO at DAL do that, and only one or two captains. It's not an issue with the possible exception of the older NWA guys in Detroit who like to show the man.

C'mon, numerous guys keep their hats with their DB plan. South too...
Your first answer was good enough.
The follow up fails to acknowledge that it's just business. An element of this business that doesn't apply to new hires.
