And no, that is not going to throw the company onto the liquidation steps because staffing has collapsed and mass cancellations are the order of the day until and unless DL embraces a flow, all the while mighty AA rolls to dominance in all things aviation because they have a flow. :roll eyes:
Competitive pay (which I hope keeps going up) and a strong path to DL that takes almost half the pilots there every 2-3 years is plenty to incentives new hires. Even if every airline adopted a flow, that wouldn't increase the number of available qualified pilots. Nor would every pilot sit around waiting for their number to flow anyway.
You're trying real hard to imply that if DL doesn't adopt a flow then they will rue the day they decided not to as their waterloo that caused the end of the airline. :roll eyes:
They will do just fine without a flow. I look forward to flying with many Endeavor alum in the future, which will be the case regardless the lack of a flow through. You're really just coming across as having a feeling of entitlement to a DL number and are salty that you have to earn it instead of being given it TBH.
Nice touch with the "roll eyes". I've said it before and I'll say it again, and maybe you'll hear me this time. I don't care personally. I'm 57 years old and I made the decision not to participate in the SSP for my own personal reasons. Had it been 5 years earlier I would've jumped at the chance, and I'd like to feel it would've turned out well for me. Again, I say it was my choice so there is no feeling of entitlement here. In fact I've always had to work very hard for everything I've gotten in life. I'm quite confident if you'd go backwards in this thread you'd see my post regarding these sentiments. But no, it's like you have an alarm on your phone that goes off whenever the word flow comes up, and suddenly you're here. There's a few of you that become very defensive about it. In some ways more so than those in control of the process. I'm just saying that I've talked to many of your peers about this topic and most are indifferent to the subject. Quite often it goes onto one of Comair. Which in my mind is apples to oranges. So call it whatever you want. Projecting I think you said. But maybe it's time to ask yourself why you're so passionate on this subject?
