I think 1500 is a good safety number..but that's just cause we're hiring so many so fast that we'll have 500 in the training pipeline if DL ever has to make that decision to furlough again..(I hope not!). I remember they announced the first 400 about 2 weeks after 9/11.

Do we still have a "flow down" to the left seat of a CPZ 175 or did that die when DL sold them or when the last CPZ pilot "flows up"?

That "flow down" is the only real furlough protection in my humble opinion.
Flow down still exists and it's all seats not just left. Compass size should be around 600 pilots by years end
