- Why was the Hoffman Group (DAL's HR pilot hiring firm) sent to MSP to set up a DAL interview process?
- Why has CPZ's management been conducting the "Delta interview" for weeks now?
- Why is a new Delta hiring computer testing center being set up at CPZ headquarters this week?
- Why has the manager of hiring at DAL sent the top 60 pilots at CPZ letters with projected class dates?
You're "in the know" so perhaps you can answer these questions.
I'm sure that management understands what canceling the flow at Compass would do to morale, on time performance, write-ups, etc. They know and have acknowledged that the flow is good for morale. Following through on a promise is usually the best business practice to motivate employees.

I have not reread the LOA's today, but the stipulation on the flows and our PWA as I recall them is that it triggers a pullback to 85 76 seat jets if the flow becomes unavailable, but it does not stipulate by what means. It also does not define a flow up or down. So at the end of the day if it is ended this trigger may still hold a ton of leverage water.

Either way, we are going to be forced into another scope negotiation. The flow is a job protection provision.
It will be interesting to see if Sailing, Slow and Alpha back pedal on how effective a tool it was in preventing furloughs.
(not that I am unappreciative of avoiding furlough and the MEC's work to ensure my employment. They can expect pressure will be maintained to keep up the excellent performance )

These guys are lawyers and coached by lawyers. They would not under any circumstances presuppose something like this in any conversation prior to it being official. Simply put, answers based upon the known facts of that minute.

In the end this is not cut and dry, and that was my point.

Ha, point was that we need to not always look out for what is best for me me me. It has gotten us to where we are today. There is a benefit in helping each other out. It just does not always have to pay you a dividend.

I disagree to a point. It is contractual language that may be questions as to intent. Then we get in to the intent during the talks that the NWA MEC had during 1113C, and then we get in to the intent of bringing the LOA's over to the DAL PWA and for the most part intact.
In the end this is not cut and dry, and that was my point.

Best of Luck to all of you guys. We all know how upper managment is never looking out for us........ I'd be more afraid for Gojet to grow even more with Compass flying......But perhaps this could be an opportunity for TSA to get together with Compass and strengthen their possition. Just a thought..
