It should be pointed at management. They are in control of this, not the pilots. Unless of course you have concrete evidence DALPA told management to stuff it when approached with a flow LOA. To my knowledge that hasn't happened.
I flew US Air passengers for almost a decade for ZW. I never felt entitled to a job at Airways because of it. Has it crossed your mind that maybe the attitude you seem to be portraying is the attitude Delta doesn't want in its employees?
Lastly, don't take any of this to mean I'm not in support of a flow. It certainly has its advantages. However, as of right now, this is Delta's philosophy and there's no sense in crying in your Cheerio's over something you have no control over.

Funny how the American/USAir/AWest pilots think the flows are excellent and think that mainline American should be taking more flows. And I'm pretty sure they were all hired through an interview. Are Delta pilots somehow superior to them? It is after all the exact same job. No one at a WO regional (be it Endevaor or one of the AAG WOs) feels we "deserve" a job at mainline. But let's be real here. When someone buys a ticket on Delta or American, and the flight gets flown by their regional subsidiary, why are those pilots "good enough" to fly YOUR passengers at their regional under your brand, but not on your actual airplanes? The SSP that Endeavor has with Delta turns down many qualified applicants. Sometimes twice. But hey, it's okay, they can still fly your passengers around under your brand who bought tickets to fly on your airline. Sounds a little ludicrous doesn't it? I'm glad the culture at American isn't like that.
