First, this shows DL doesn’t care at all about having a flow, but that they are only doing this to get the 35 planes back.
Second, if the flow actually does happen, I would suspect this will change. Flow by design is a recruiting tool. The AA wo’s have nearly the same pay as 9E now, and they have a flow. If the 9E flow doesn’t count for new hires, why would they choose 9E over the AA wo’s. I had offers from piedmont and psa but came to 9E because of the significant pay difference (at the time). However, if PSA had already been In the new contract, I likely would have gone there. The flow gives us hiring power again. No flow, we will struggle to fill seats. Even pre Covid we weren’t filling our quota. We wanted 45+/month, and we were getting 35-40.
