Endeavor Flow Program/LOA 125
-Implemented on June 3, 2021 and only includes pilots that were on the seniority list at the date of signing.
-Allows 20 pilots or 50% of Delta's monthly hiring, whichever is less, to flow to Delta
-No requirement to flow other than completed training as a Captain. You could finish your Captain OE training and flow the next day if you somehow managed that.
-No penalty for interviewing with Delta, aka OTS, before your flow date.
-No protection clause in case Delta crams all of their hiring into a three month period. If Delta doesn't hire a specific month, then no Endeavor pilots will flow either
-Flows will get their seniority number on their 'flow date' and will be given higher seniority than any other new hires for that same month.
-Endeavor has an option to invoke a thee month hold back for flows. The pilots will still receive their seniority number, and aircraft assignment, on their flow date and will have a class date three months later.


Career Advancement Program/CAP/LOA 129

-Includes new hires after the original flow agreement, LOA 125, was implemented.
-Allows 20 pilots or 50% of Delta's monthly hiring, whichever is less, to advance to Delta
-Must serve 24 months in the Captain position and cannot have 2 or more unsatisfactory events during LOE or line checks, or have received a disciplinary letter.
-Pilots may attempt an OTS interview with Delta, but if they do not get hired they lose the right to advance to Delta under CAP
-CAP does not start until all the pilots under LOA 125 have flowed or declined the flow.
-I thought there was a protection clause that guaranteed some advancement during no hire months but it appears there is not. Someone can correct me on this if I am wrong.
-Flows will get their seniority number on their 'flow date' and will be given higher seniority than any other new hires for that same month.
-Endeavor has an option to invoke a thee month hold back for flows. The pilots will still receive their seniority number, and aircraft assignment, on their flow date and will have a class date three months later.

Hope that helps to answer some of the questions regarding the flow programs.
