I don’t think this was ever about recruiting. This was about Delta being able to fly more regional jets. They figure even without the flow they can fill those RJ flight decks and by taking the most expensive pilots off the top of the seniority list, they can fill them for a lower overall cost. Much like the flow works to push some upward movement of the seniority list, that will do the same at Endeavor, which isn’t as good a recruiting tool as a REAL guaranteed flow, it still has appeal to many, especially at a company like Endeavor that already has a lot going for it.
