Moak is getting all 3 MECs together next week because of a deadline set by DL to address the flow. DL says the flow down must end. Compass was not prepared to handle the loss of pilots flowing this year. DL told Compass they would be hiring a lot of Compass pilots outside the flow.
Wow. Big suprise there.
Don't know why DAL wants a big pow-wow about ending the flow. They can end it anytime they want. All they have to do is remove 68 71-76 seat jets from the fleet.
