True, but those were the guys hired under the Northwest flow agreement. Delta was kind enough to honor that, but it quickly put an end to future flows.

Maybe the tier 1 applicants at Delta are running out, and to make it easier for Delta to hire, they start a SSP type thing for the regional pilots who fly under Delta? They may save some money on a streamlined interview process that way.

Just throwing some thoughts out there.

I just have my fingers crossed that they get to tier 4E, sooner than later.

I'm referring to the ASA CRJ flying in DFW. If it wasn't for that, a sale of the Legacy ASA side would be much easier, but more consolidation in the Regional sector seems to be on the horizon. It could take a year or more for the next wave to happen, but it will be interesting to watch - hopefully from the window while at a Legacy

Dfw crj contract is up Feb 2017 and we (CRJ only) are already being moved out of B terminal to E terminal (US Airway's old gates) in March next year. If AA doesn't renew then we would all go back to solely DL flying on CRJ side. Although I would hate to see DFW go, it's been a good base for me.

Two years later they have hired over 2k. It seems to be a system when they score apps that are competitive and then those apps are dumped into tier 1. Kind of like a collector tank on an rj

3. ASA has made a deal with Emirates and we become a stand alone airline where delta sales us the 717's. 4. Expressjet announces a better web tool to list for delta flights and going by date of hire for Priority seating on non rev.
