To clear up the information about the Compass Flow LOA. A Compass pilot will have the first opportunity to be a new hire before any other new hire. Compass can flow up to the lesser of 25% of the Compass Seniority List over a rolling 12 month period, or 20 per MONTH. So our max flow is 115, at a rate of 20 per month.

Hang in there Diesel,
As previously posted, the numbers are "per-month" not per class. Once hiring starts it actually can cause a need for more hiring as guys get pulled off the line for training.
Once hiring really cranks up the flows will be limited by their 25% annual limit.
DAL likes MIL guys and will continue to hire plenty of good military guys.
You may have to wait a year, but your time will come.

I don't think DAL WILL hire "plenty" of military guys. Why not?
Because there are not many military pilots anymore, who can fly manned aircraft, coming through the pipeline. AND, because AA/UAL/Alaska/Hawaiin/FedEx/UPS, etc., etc. will all be competing for them. When the pie gets a LOT smaller, and there are a LOT of people eating the pie, there's not so much for each person!!!
UNLESS DAL decides to pay something like 50% more than everyone else, then they can get most of the mil pilots that are still licensed for manned aircraft.

They shot down a drone and it's one less slot for me
.......
So, what do you do if the drone you're flying gets shot down?
I dunno. Go get another cup of coffee?
