We don't need more 76 seat airplanes...we need a defined path to DL. We are the only wholly owned carrier in the world without a direct path to our major counterpart. We most likely will never see it, but it is interesting nonetheless.
We need a healthy flow-up, flow-back program.

They took a select few people from NWAirlink carriers that were not DL material and I don't think they want that to happen again. 99% of the people that flowed were great people, but they are looking for a certain candidate right now and want the process to be as standardized as possible.

) as they didn't make it through probation at Delta and somehow after resigning from Endeavor (not a flow) got their old seniority number back after failing out of Delta

ex military pilots are all great sticks. I think that the flow people get a bad
rap because they were flow people (given a job) didn't earn it even though
most had 10+ years as a regional pilot and 8 of those as a captain. We sent over ONE trouble maker on the flow and they're no longer there.
Just as regionals change there hiring standards/minimums so will mainline.
You think every Delta pilot has a four degree? NO.
Times they are a changing.

Delta still has plenty of applications on file. Until that pool comes down, don't expect Delta to consider a flow through. It's also no secret that Delta loves ex military pilots, which don't come from a flow and there are also plenty of them out there right now. Could change in the future, but not for several years in my opinion
