I am against flows!!! Anyone can be on their best behavior for a few hours. I was witness to a flow when I was at Compass. There were pilots that were abusing their sick time, busting training events, etc. They had the flow to Delta and knew all they had to do was remain employed with Compass to cash in on the flow.
The problem, as you allude to, is how the company defines “abusing sick time”. The reality is guys will show up sick out of FEAR of losing the golden ticket. That’s reality. And frankly, that’s what Mother U wants them to think. Get that mentality in their head early, so when they get to mainline, the behavior is normalized. Heck, they use the same bs for internal interviews. Call is sick a few times? You’re now deemed “unreliable” even though it’s within the UPA and HR reliability metrics.
