I've expressed to our negotiating committee that I think a flow is an important aspect of our next contract, becuase it would help to solidify our new hire "show rate" once upgrade times inevitably stagnate. That helps us maintain and continue to grow our business. I hope the Association pursues a flow or preferential interview with UAL or AA--it costs nothing, and it gives all of us a lot of career-planning assurances, if it's on the level with the deal the wholly-owneds have secured for themselves.

I would trade any pay raise in any new contract for the deal PDT has. Not joking. Just knowing that you're going to have a place at a legacy regardless of interview performance or experience or anything else is like having a box full of solid gold buried in your backyard. It costs nothing but it means everything.
