Mathematically 20 a month for 2,000 pilots is 100 months. Is your bridge agreement active for the next 100 months, or until the last ISL pilot flows? I doubt Delta has ever hired for 100 consecutive months. My pilot math says that would be 12/2011-3/2020. Not sure any time prior would even come close.
Still a 50/50 chance a Delta furlough comes down to your list in October when cares money runs out. Any time a Delta pilot flows down it adds months or years to your flow up.
I think Eagle started their flow in the late 90’s and some flowed in 1998, and the last from the original agreement flowed in 2017. They have had 2 or 3 different flow agreements since then.
Long way to go before a new hire is next up to bat for flow, and there is no agreement in place. Why is he/she owed that security from day 1 of Indoc.
