With the DGI you have to upgrade, wait 2 years and then wait for your chance to interview. If it is anything like the ssp you will have a 50/50 shot. It might not even be up to you to pass the interview. It might be just a matter of low staffing at Endeavor, who knows? Also the DGI program
can be taken away at anytime.
And you don't think AA can take the flow away at any time? Sure it may be contractual, but the time and money the union will have to send to grieve it will take years for it to shake out.
Unless you either have a DUI, no college degree or are simply impossible to sit with for a 4 day trip, you don't need a flow, simply because of the retirement numbers you just mentioned. The problem is that the millennial, entitlement generation doesn't want to work for things, especially the ones under 25 who haven't done anything but school, instruct and go to a regional. They want handed things, they don't work for them. They wouldn't know what a hard working pilot job is if hit them in the face.
