It goes like this:
1. Compass has the first 20 in class, up to 25% of the list in 1 year. There are about 400ish that have flow rights there. The rest receive an interview.
2. The next 9 in class are Mesaba flows, there are 69 of them remaining.
3. If there are any remaining slots in class, 1/3 of the remaining slots or 12, whichever is less, goes to Pinnacle SSP pilots.
4. The rest is whomever Delta wants.

Example: Delta has a class of 40 new hires:
20 are from Compass
9 are from Mesaba
4 are from the 9E SSP
7 are off the street
