The "130ish" looks suspiciously like the number of Compass flows for the year. I believe the number of Mesaba flow eligible pilots is just under 70. It's been mentioned elsewhere either in this thread, or another.

If Delta mixes flows and OTS hires in training classes, it may not take too long for OTS bubbas to start training. If they train all of the flows upfront and/or fill classes heavy with the flows, it will take OTSs longer. Does anyone know what the breakdowns will be? Is there an intent to get through all of the flows and then train the OTSs?

Guys, seriously. Ya'll need to ease up on the caffeine. I understand the desire to get the latest gouge, and that many life and family plans hangs on the info, but a little forewarning. Delta is very tight with any info. Your entire career here is gonna be punctuated with large amounts of rumors, little to no correct answers, and the eventual realization, that no matter what decision you make, with the best information you can glean, will undoubtedly turn out to be the wrong one!
Once you acknowledge and embrace the information void, your career will be much happier. Remember, don't like the rumor you just heard? Wait a bit, you'll hear a contradictory one soon. The game plan changes every 4 to 6 weeks and the left hand doesn't know what the right hand has been doing for the last several years.

When Compass and Mesaba were both sold in 2010, there were well over 200 Compass pilots eligible to flow up and just over 100 Mesaba guys. I don't know how many have flowed since that time.

As far as trips on the 88 in ATL, usually it averages around 3.2-3.4 days or so on the bid pack so mostly 3-4 day trips. The sign ins occur at all hours of the day and the legs can number from 1 some days to 5 a day. It is a very large category and therefore it has a wide range of trips. If I had to guess an average I would say 3 legs a day on the 88.

Here are the official flow #'s from the Mesaba side. Going into the 2014 hiring wave there were 68 total XJ pilots with flow thru rights. Of those 68, 10 opted out and aren't flowing, mostly old dudes. Another 7 flow bidders don't have degrees and will get left behind, so much for the "vault letter". Of the pool of 68, 9 flowed on 1/13/2014 and 9 more will flow on Feb 3rd. So after the Feb 3rd class only 33 more XJ pilots will flow up. June will be the last month with XJ flow ups assuming there are monthly classes.
