Close, but wrong.
A flow is an entitlement. It is neither a requirement, nor a prohibition from being employed through the standard application process. None of the contracts at Compass, Mesaba, or Delta have a restriction on hiring via the normal process for Compass or Mesaba pilots.
The order of flow has nothing to do with how/when a pilot gets HIRED at Delta. It only affects how/when they flow.
Coex was a slightly different animal. They wrote the restriction into the agreement.
