That worked for some reason.... scratch that, I lied. I clicked on library on our dal.alpa.org page and it its the public page only. So I clicked on login and it takes me to alpa.org and then I'm stuck there. Oh well, I'll save reading the LOA's for tomorrow.

As to not taking the undesirables, it wouldn't be a flow if you could pick who you wanted. Hence, you could be turned down by every airline you interview with but you are guaranteed a job, thats the downside for the mainline carrier with a flow through. In the case of Coex and sounds like it could happen again, a person interviews out of seniority order and gets turned down, they get to come anyways but later. We had that and there was a Coex CA, absolutely jerk of a guy, turned down by CAL but did eventually flow up junior to those behind him, he flowed back down after 9/11 and was nearly fired if not fired for numerous problems. I honestly can't remember if he was or not.

I thought CPZ was interviewed by NWA pilots from the beginning, is that the case with Mesaba?
