And if this happens to you, place your ire where it belongs, and that is not at the Delta pilots.

Anyway I don't see the 35 RJ's in question ending the flow. It *might* end the flow down provision, would would make it an all win no lose proposition to EDV pilots anyway.

In fact, adding those 35 to EDV actually increases the churn and staffing issues a flow would exacerbate, right?

Finally, even if DALPA loses and the company can deploy those 35 large RJ's, what certainty would there be that they go to EDV anyway and not SKYW/Republic/Mesa/etc?
The irony of the whole thing is that the 35 RJ's probably wouldn't even go to Endeavor, certainly not all of them. But their MEC was given a take it or leave it offer. They really had no choice in the matter. And it probably will hurt 9E morale, especially for those lifers who had a brief glimmer of hope. Which again shows how cold a maneuver it is (was).

DL management even agreed not to use one of the 35 until after the arbitrator rules, and you can bet they won't flow a single body unless and until they prevail.

RJs AND a flow, Endeavor must be given better flow terms.

A thread about the 35 RJ's and flow was already established on APC: 35 Large RJs coming back?

Back on topic, New OTS interviews start on 22 July. I'd be interested in hearing a trip report on the 'assessment' from the new hires. That seems to be the one 'new' thing from this new process?
