Your individual flow rights can be cancelled at anytime though. That's what he's getting at.

Looks like shyboy

Why would ALPA be upset that the EtD as cancelled? DALPA certainly wouldn't be. ALPA had no part in negotiating this POS. It is solely an agreement between the management teams of Delta and Endeavor. It is not codified in any PWA, CBA, LOA. Hell, if isn't even written in any legally binding way, shape, or form.

Who has flow rights?

So if you're hired under this program they can just come back and cancel your individual rights at any time?

That doesn't sound right.

You are damn skippy they they can!

Nothing in this industry is protected unless it's in a legally binding form, i.e LOA, MOU, CBA etc...and even then a company can do whatever they want and force a grievance and hope they will win in arbitration.

Anyone thinking of going to Endevour for this deal really really needs to understand the fine print...

The EtD candidate has a legal CJO document signed between them, and Delta management. If you are accepted through the EtD program, you will be a Delta pilot provided you play ball with 9E management. They can cancel the program at any time, however pilots previously accepted will be grandfathered in, and become Delta pilots.

Apps are flooding in, that means, ASA, Skywest, etc will have their rates reset because 9E is now viable.

Sure.... try selling that to the supposedly guaranteed flow Mesaba pilots.... 980 of about 1060 would disagree with you.

Word is 85% are either not qualified or are rejected by Delta as "not Delta material".... The smartest thing American could do is hold a job fair in MSP, DTW, and NYC..... Endeavor would shut down in a month.

Well that got canceled with the merger.

1. Who is Delta going to merge with, or what Delta merger would the government even approve of now?

2. Who would Delta merge with and *not* be in the drivers seat?

I just don't see either case happening.

Further, I don't see flows being taken away carte blanche or en masse...not in this environment. Yeah, I could see individuals ticking off Delta and losing their flow, or the flow being stopped *after* a certain date. However I think the language is fairly clear that those who get the nod have a flow which is theirs to lose.
