Negative, not a flow.
In the past, whether it was the DAL flows/AA flows, or CAL flows, once a pilot's number comes up they go to class. No interview, screen, whatever. AGAIN, under a "flow".
A "pref interview" is usually a completely different matter.

It doesn't affect what was already planned for XJT well over a year ago. UAL was pulling the planes from them regardless.

More whipsawing at the regional level.....
See above, that writing went on the wall long, long ago.

See above, this announcement isn't anything new for XJT. As mentioned, it's simply a reshuffling of planes that XJT lost long, long ago.
