We need to make sure this doesn't become 9E pilots vs DL pilots as it drags on and almost certainly gets uglier. Especially if DL management goes ahead with it unilaterally and starts flowing pilots while DALPA grieves it and waits for arbitration. I would hope that all DL pilots would welcome the flows as they would any other new hires and keep their negative feelings focused solely towards mgmt.

Ultimately I think most DL pilots would support a 9E flow as long as it's not tied to the extra 76 seaters. Any DL pilot who doesn't support it would have a hard time justifying why they don't want improved career progression for their fellow ALPA pilots. It's just that the flow down has proven to be pretty worthless and it no longer makes any sense to give up scope for it, which I think most 9E pilots understand and dont take personally.
