The flow back at this point is probably not going to be used by any current DL pilot....if flow back is ever used, it would be by those who are about to flow up.
From what I could tell, 9E pilots were not interested in DL pilots flowing down during covid when the compass flow down language appeared to possibly still be in play.
And the 35 large RJs will not be operated by DL mainline pilots at mainline rates, nor will these RJs expand the DL seniority list by 35 x about 10 pilots a piece.
What am I missing?
Correct. 9E didn’t want a flow down last year. Now they’ll get a flow up, with a flow down provision. Guess who that affects? Is the number 500 guy at DL going to flow down to 9E? No. The 9E pilot who flows here will flow back to 9E if the music stops again.
This whole thing is absurd. Deltas gonna do what delta wants to do, and ALPA is gonna bark about it all day long. Then ultimately an arbitrator is going to side with the company. Orrrr they side with us, and we still get nothing because it’s not economically feasible to pull those 35 jets out of service. I’ve seen this movie before.
