Why would you not immediately get those pilots at the top of the list flowing?

I don’t think this was ever about recruiting. This was about Delta being able to fly more regional jets. They figure even without the flow they can fill those RJ flight decks and by taking the most expensive pilots off the top of the seniority list, they can fill them for a lower overall cost. Much like the flow works to push some upward movement of the seniority list, that will do the same at Endeavor, which isn’t as good a recruiting tool as a REAL guaranteed flow, it still has appeal to many, especially at a company like Endeavor that already has a lot going for it.

You are misinterpreting the facts. As I said, there is no room in the schoolhouse for new hires until requals are completed. They are jam packed full. That is not because AA is out to screw the flows over.

I can’t understand why AA is projected to hire 1/2 of what United will and 1/3 of what delta will in the next 18 months.

Easy. AA is broke, UA and DL are not.

One will shrink, the other two will buy airplanes and expand.

Well, glad the flow is only 5.6 years for a new hire today.

Am I allowed to quit and get rehired? According to Ric's email, I'll flow faster.

Same here. Been here for 2.5 years and would have around 5.5 left. Better to be a new hire.

Yes, multiple times. He has always ignored them.
