DL inherited the CPZ flow program and wanted to end it (because DL doesn't like flows) but it also inherited the language that created CPZ. If DL ended the flows on its own, it would have lost a lot of large RJ's because of the DL/NWA PWA/LOA language. A compromise was reached whereby the flow up program would end with the existing pilots on the CPZ list while preserving the flow down program whch allowed DL to keep those "large RJ's" at CPZ.

I think most CPZ pilots would have easily passed the DL interview, and there have only been a few they've had issues with. A couple with training and a few with attitude/entitlement mentality from what I've heard. The numbers of either are very low, but there is a small entitlement mentality some have. Perhaps they truly believe a DL job/flow is some kind of contractual due that they are owed when that is clearly not the case. But again, its only a tiny fraction of the group, most of which are great.

DL also inherited the Mesaba flow, but there was no DL/NWA PWA pilot hammer to stop them from ending it (i.e. forced parking of large RJs) so they ended it after grandfathering I think a year's worth as a courtesy (at a rate of 9 per month). That flow is already over.

In any case, the CPZ flow ups are almost over too. I'm not 100% sure what's going on with the Endeavor SSP situation, but in any case I'd think there would be more OTS interviews going out soon.
