The flowups end when the last one flows.

That could be three years from now or fifteen years from now, depending on shrinking, outsourcing, growth, etc.

I don't mean to start another DPA debate...but has anyone noticed the claim from them that we are 11.1% overstaffed by Feb. 2013? Just curious what your all's take was on that.....

Based on corrections above, it may not be that bad. It just means it takes flowups out about another 3-4 months, but at less of a density. Which seems appropriate since they've already "interviewed" and have been on a B-scale.

Don't forget the 35% of the classes being filled with DCI Alpa pilots....

The flow will more than satisfy that but if you aren't a flow or DCI you are going to have to wait your turn. I predict flows will be the majority of new hires for 2013 with some non flows starting to trickle in in 2014.

Excellent. That's when my 99 weeks of unemployment will be running out.

Looks like I don't have to go to GoJetsss after all.

they're comparing the 22D3 and 22D2 charts.

I thought the 22D2 was like the min staffing impossible to correctly run the airline by and 22D3 is what they need to run the airline?

This is completely off topic, but I think it is classless and in poor form to start a thread in the AA section and then poke your finger in their chest and/or eye if you are not at their company. I also think it is in bad taste to turn that thread into another DAL thread.

There, that's off my chest.

Correct. Min staffing and if my memory serves me we need to staff about 5% or so above the to be truly operational.

Will you use the transvestite in the Delta flight attendant outfit like you did with me?
