Oh wow. And this is what's killing the industry. Someone to do whatever it takes, no matter how unethical. I bet this guy would be the first one to cross the picket line. Redefining the scab.

Sadly, Im willing to bet he works for 9E. Might be one of those that tells his friends to join his company even though its horrible just to have more guys under him.

So you could sit for 10 years at 9E and wait for your turn to "flow" to Delta? You do realize how many 7 year FOs are still awaiting their turn to upgrade right? You also understand that you would be sitting ready reserve in JFK or LGA for eternity. Then once you do upgrade in 10 years you will have to sit another 2 years to get your captain time. It's a stupid idea.
Oh and btw you will be topped out at $36 per hour for the 10 year stint as FO.

Why doesn't the union(senior pilots) negotiate lower wages for the new ELT pilots and give themselves raises. If the new hires have SJS it seems like they would learn a hard lesson about biting dirty carrots. It also might not make the job that attractive at slave wages for 3-5 years. They might get to go to Delta but they won't be able to do it at other pilots expense. Just curious why short timers should be rewarded. I never felt entitled to anything as a junior pilot for any airlne I've ever worked for.

Flow is OK as a backstop. BUT don't stop looking for a good move.
If you get on at AA or SWA etc in the next 5 years you have won. If not and you get to DL in 10 then you have done better than the guy still at his regional in 10.
BUT the important bit is to keep working don't sit back and wait.
