Back to the OP
What is the average TT flow throughs have at time of flow?.. and PIC? The OP was discussing stopping the flow.. any discussion of doing UAL type where an interview is guaranteed... just not a job . That would make a lot of sense to me. My interview at the regional ( a WO of AA) was a joke. Asked me to read a TAF and brief an approach... that was it!.. not sure if it was the same for other applicants that day with little to no PIC. At least having to do the fit assessment / face to face interview could weed out the odd balls.
You're talking nonsense. The flow has existed for decades, it's not changing. If it bothers you that much, Delta is hiring. All that information has been posted in this thread, and many others like it.
Tatum has explicitly said in interviews that staffing the W/O regionals is priority #1, and the flow does that. If you mess with it, people will jump to the LCC's overnight.
Eagle regionals do more departures a day than AA mainline, we're getting to a point where the cart is pulling the horse.
Departures by hub:
DFW 915 59.3 % mainline
ORD 546 40.1 % mainline
DCA 255 31.8 % mainline
PHL 417 42.4 % mainline
LAX 210 66.2 % mainline
LGA 174 47.7 % mainline
CLT 688 46.1 % mainline
