All the other wholly owned regionals have flow, we have a coin flip.
As I've said before, I have no problem with some sort of screening process before going to mainline, but give us defined, merit based metrics. Not three BS tests and a popularity contest of a panel.

Hopefully the other AA WOs follow PSAs lead. Hopefully they exceed our rates and our recruiters struggle. Then DAL might throw another carrot (banana?) our way. Until then, Jeep making your podium announcements and wear that hat. Oh yeah, latency too!

This thought process is easily debunked by the fact that Delta is looking for employees, not just pilots. It wouldn’t be difficult to argue that while they weren’t a good employment fit for mainline, they could have easily thrived at Endeavor. Needless to say, I don’t think this particular argument holds any weight.

The flip side of having a screening process, is that if Delta gets aggressive during probation, many pilots that would not have passed the screening process would probably find themselves on the street.
Flow is something that has to be gifted to us by the mainline pilot union, it's totally up to them. The AA wholly owned flow dates back to 1993, when the national mediation board denied the APA forced stapling of the "Eagles".
