delta has a flow back for 500 pilots in exchange for 35 large RJs, but since it was to compass it remains to be seen how it would play out

It sounds like no seniority. Just a job at second year pay.

That is exactly what it is, and it only gets triggered if we furlough beyond January 2016. Any furloughed United pilot would be put on the list just like any other new hire, except at second year pay and they can’t be forced to resign their United seniority number. This was written when the norm was for the legacy to furlough and the regional to expand. Who the he!! Could have seen this one coming. This is just nuts.

Hard to see how you can have a flow back when there is no flow-up.

It all depends on what is in a contract. Apparently Delta negotiated a limited flow back for some pilots in exchange for more rj’s. United doesn’t have flow back, just a requirement to hire furloughed United pilots at the bottom, but at 2nd year pay.

only if you fail training at AA can you flow back to PSA.

Which UAX carriers? The one that they "own" in XJT? Or the ones that just signed up for that awesomely great AVIATE program? Do you think other UAX carriers like SkyWest, Mesa, or Republic are going to allow flowbacks? I mean, what agreements are in place here? Serious question.

Republic has a clause in their contract to hire pilots back that left and now fly airplanes with more then like 86 seats or cargo over 100,000 lbs. you keep your seniority for a bit too.

They have to be hiring for it to Work which is not the case right now.
