In regards to the Delta MEC rumouring to get rid of the flow, I find this hard to believe. It makes it very expensive for Delta to furlough due to the flowback protection with Compass. It also gives junior Delta pilot's a job while on forced leave.
It seems extremely illogical for the majority of Delta pilot's voting to banish the flow just because they feel their management should interview everybody coming in.
Bingo, Yahtze, DING DING DING, we have a winner. For anyone who can't understand why compass' flow might be better, it's because they're so very much smaller. How many have flowed or even gotten the chance to flow from Mesaba? And mesaba can flow 10 a month? so... that takes... hmmm... roughly forever for a new hire to flow, assuming delta hires forever.... I would be scared to be at compass because I still think Delta will furlough and flush their list... I'm not terrifically interested in a third furlough.
For the guys who can't understand those that would leave the career... keep in mind the guys at the bottom of Mesaba's list now are all second time furloughee's... how many times do you have to get kicked before you think... hmmm.. maybe I should do something else...
We'll see how it all pans out.. then we can look back in 20/20
