so really the “flow” is just management blocking us from career progression, great. Maybe if we’re lucky we can flow 1 a month to UA while they throw our apps in the trash.

My money says we never, ever flow more than 2 a month. Just TSH’s way of blocking us from leaving for F9 in droves with their new contract. Scummy move

Well frontier is complicit in this too, don't forget that.

Which begs the issue of; What’s in it for them?

Why does a reliable 24 (or 48) new hires a year strike them as a BETTER deal than all they might wish to hire?

I think they realize we were sending less than that, they figure if they have a no hassle process guys that were holding out will otherwise just say "ohhhh okayyyy, I guess I'll take the flow to frontier." They think they'll get more with the flow than without.

I wonder how fast down the list it will go. CAs without a full year, FOs without 2 years, those who don't want to go, bypasses who won't accept the flow just yet...

I think CAs who have no ambition for LCA and already have 1000 PIC MIGHT take it. I think the few super senior who are close to retirement will obviously not. I think jr CAs and senior FOs bypass first round.

I have to wonder - do we really HAVE FOs with two years seniority? Can’t be many. A few RATPs lacking company mins maybe....?

Ah thanks that is good to know.

FlyingKat, I'm guessing you are a TSA pilot? If so, just curious, since the new F9 TA, how low on the seniority list has the flow gone for you guys?
