Good information Chris, thank you. Will off-the-street and flows be in the same classes on 13 Jan and 3 Feb?

I take it 9 Mesaba guys go in Jan. Any Endeavor guys get offered Jan dates? If so, how many?

For further clarification, we've been told 46 of those offered recall have resigned. Additionally, 13 offered recall have not responded. I don't know how much time they have.

I believe the first 20 per month must be Compass (until 25% of the total Compass pilot group has flowed within a rolling 12-month period in which case there would be no more flows from Compass until within the constraints of that metric), then 9 from XJ, then off the street which would include SSP newhires.

Both Compass and XJ pilots (non-management) can be held back for 3 months by their carrier for operational constraints. The seniority and date of employment for a pilot who is held back begins on the date he/she would have started class had they not been held back.

Here's what a bunch of us swimmers were able to come up with as a projection for Jan - Mar class numbers as of today.

Assumptions:
50 class slots per month
Compass holds back at least Jan and Feb
Mesaba does not hold back
Endeavor SSB hires entitled to 1/3 the off the street slots per month (max 12/mo)
Furlough recalls completed in December - none in Jan

Here goes:
9 Mesaba +12 Endeavor = 21 slots/month
That leaves 29 per month for true off the street
58 in Jan and Feb combined
87 by March if Compass holds back the full 90 days

Once Compass flows start in, 7 Endeavor and 14 true off the street/mo

As of mid Nov approximately 100 true off the streets are in the pool

If anyone has different numbers or assumptions, please cite a credible reference.

Compass might not hold back the 1st class and then a max hold we are hearing is 60 days for future hold backs.
Last flows in 2010 were held back 90 days with 3 months heads up on hiring.
This time Delta gave them 6 month notice

My understanding is that even if Compass holds pilots back for the full 3 months (Endeavor has that option as well with the XJ flow pilots), they still take up the slots. This is based on the language in LOAs #9 - Compass Flow and #10 - Mesaba Flow contained in the Delta PWA. If 50 slots are to be filled in a month:

50 slots remaining
20 Compass flow pilots (even if they are held back) = 30 remaining slots
9 XJ flow pilots (even if they are held back) = 21 remaining slots
7 Endeavor SSP pilots (1/3 of 21) = 14 remaining slots

Hillbilly,
Are you saying that a compass holdback results in DAL deciding to have empty seats in the training classes, or that contractually the position of seniority is retained even if the flow is delayed?

Not sure if Delta will fill the class spots or just have a smaller class but the Compass flow pilots will have a seniority date even if they are held back at Compass up to 90 days.

Example: 20 Compass pilots offered Delta class date of Jan 13th. All 20 held back 90 days until mid-April class date. All 20 will have a seniority date of hire at Delta of Jan 13th even though they are not physically sitting in new hire class until April.
