Did/has the flow-eligible vs. non-flow-eligible distinction caused any friction at Compass?
Is/was there any way to "fail" the flow, or is/was it truly "effective on <date>, you're on the DL seniority list"...?
Again, just curious--I was never at Compass, and the one guy I know at Compass was just hired a couple of months ago (thus not flow-eligible)....
Everyone on the list before a certain date were grand fathered in. The next class of pilots after that date do not have flow rights. I know a couple of those guys are mad because they interviewed while the flow was still active, they didn't start class until after.
No friction that I have seen but some guys have been vocal about some things while forgetting their audience in the crew room. For instance I overhead a guy say " I am torn about going because my QOL is so great here as a check airman and Ill be taking a pay cut" Boowho, you're going to DELTA! Everyone would kill to be in their position.
The flow guys can fail up to a certain point at Delta and return to Compass. A couple have.
We have a group of age 60+ former ATA Captains and a couple other random people who have chosen to stay.
