Any LAX FOs on RAP1 looking to switch to RAP3 for May, send me a PM. I know this is a long shot, but it's worth a try.

Guaranteed moment (not like that's totally necessary in this environment) and an amazing recruiting tool for those on the fence between SKY, Compass and Horizon. It would also be a nice and free retention tool. I imagine it would require a flow pilot to be a captain for a certain amount of time before they left.

No more hiring of FOs or they still hire them outside the flow so therefore why have a flow, they hire who they want anyway.

MAYBE preferential interviews, but no flow.
As for MW claiming he's close to finalizing a deal with HAL... I believe that about as much as I believe his engine rolled back on it's own and he didn't notice.

Any of you who commute and buy multiple months of parking at your home have any trouble being reimbursed month to month? Anything special you do with the receipt? Just got a new one and they make us do 6 months minimum now... Just seeing if there is any experience out there with it. Thanks

HAL has nothing absolutely nothing to gain from a flow agreement, and it won't happen.

I believe this flow with HAL about as much as I believed Bob when he told that FA on the conference call that MSP is fine, when in fact a few days later they announced it was closing!
