I may have missed it but does anyone know when the next flow email will be sent? They obviously didn’t get the full 250 so what’s the plan? Send out another 130?

 

Meh, NYC7ER Capt went pretty junior on the last bid. The flows will likely end up flying with a few ex 9E guys.

 

Ask the CPZ guys that flowed, if there was a bias. To this day I still have friends that got hired both inside and outside the flow at CPZ and the first thing the CA asks after they say they were previous CPZ is if they were part of the flow. Of course there's bias. DL sent between 5-10 guys back to CPZ too because of numerous issues, training, personality, conflicts with instructors, etc. Most of those pilots were older. That just reinforced those biases. I think a majority of these guys/gals will be fine, but I still think your going to see outliers. Let's be real here the business reasoning for the flows is to get those RJ's back. I'm not saying the cards will be stacked against them as far as getting through the gates, but I don't think it's going to be as easy as someone getting hired off the street who went through the process and successfully onboarded. I still think there are a lot of pilots that think going through the interview and getting a CJO (regardless if the interview process was not good and weeded out alot of good people) to get here is a right of passage and anyone else who gets a quasi free ride and in some instances got turned down multiple times or was given multiple opportunities to come to DL is going to be looked down upon. Personally I have no problem with these pilots flowing, I've just sat next to lots of old pilots here who don't see things or feel the way I do and my hope is that doesn't create conflict when these flows come to DL. I'd like to think we are all professional enough to do our jobs without these issues, but after seeing what some of the older pilots post in skyhub or on private DL facebook groups, I'll hold my breath

 

You lost me at old pilots posting on Facebook

 

Aquired NOT hired.
The answer is Yes.

 

Settle down Skippy.

 

Delta already had a flow ready pre covid, the truth is if Delta pays EDV any more they might as well bring them onto mainline. Im good with either decision.

Delta demanded pilots adapt to new economics when i was there, and EDV has been arm barring Delta back ever since. Time for Delta to accept the new economics.

 

Thats a bold statement and highly unlikely. Delta is all about bringing people through the interview process to weed out certain candidates. It’s a very scientific approach…

 

They have six months worth of flows now, which takes them up through January. So maybe they'd send out another email in November/December to get names for class dates in February and beyond (plus the three month holdback)?

 

Is delta going to give classes regardless of the arbitration decision?
