Don't want to argue about it. It is what it is, and it is funny.

I'd be all for a merger which unified the express system within the brand as some at Northwest pushed for at one time. But, this round of taking concessions to score restrictions on Delta scope & gain some degree of preferential interviewing / hiring arrangement was not good for our profession, IMHO.

For the others that are getting interviews - THAT'S all you're being given. The interview will be a full force interview. Show up w/ attitude or a sense of entitlement and be ready to hear that door slam as you walk out. Good luck to those of you who want it, get ready for it, and show up prepared!
Just off the press:
The first 20 flow-ups come from Compass and the next nine come from Mesaba each month that we are hiring. Numbers are also subject to the limits in the flow-up agreements.
It’s approximately one-third of all off-the-street positions subject to a cap of 12 per month for now. We committed to monthly hiring numbers (1/3 of all available off-the-street positions up to a maximum of 12 through 2016 and then 15 in 2017 and 20 in 2018 and beyond) until we exhausted the interviews of the 2,000 Endeavor pilots that were on the seniority list (and stay on it) at the time the Bridge Agreement was signed in January 2013.

Fuel flow is the same for tanks 1 and 3 except that they have two boost pumps each instead of four. There are standpipes to keep you from pumping below 2,300 pounds and the crossfeeds need to be closed if you have the dump valves open, right?
So lets say we need to dump 12,000 pounds and ...
727 Fuel dumping problems were still on the test in 2007.
Now lets talk about LEMAC and then we're talking about F4's.
