I respectfully disagree in this case.
The flow agreement completely blocks pilots from going to Frontier outside of the flow. This means from now on any compass guys who may want to “escape” somewhere respectable in the future have one less place to go.
Yes, some guys will go, but 2 a month? We have had more people leave in one month than this would move all year. TSH will never let us flow more than 2 a month, it’s expensive. Also, it’s in seniority order, so even though many will take the bypass(which is also rigid and restrictive), it will take years to flow any current mid-level seniority pilots.
By the time the ‘flow’ reaches anyone who’s currently an FO at this company, compass will (likely) be long gone. And when that axe falls, now we have one less place to go, especially us CAs that would have otherwise been competitive when applying.
I don’t know. The way I see it, I like F9 and was planning to try for them once I check my 1000 tpic box at compass. Now I can’t go to F9. That means I’m that much more likely to be in OO newhire class in 2021 if I can’t move on before then. Certainly looks bad from where I’m standing
If we signed a flow agreement to DL that flowed 3 a month and blocked all other applicants, this place would be a dumpster fire, after all.
IF you’re one of the 5-year captains here, though, that is so unlikeble that you’ve already been turned down by the mainline HR panels, then this is a great deal for you.
Again, I mean that all respectfully, just my 2 cents
