If you file an app your chances are the same as anyone else. Then it becomes who you know. With the flow, you have to quit Pinnacle before you can be hired. One guy at Mesaba who was junior to you gambled with this and got hired at Delta. He was well connected as well.

As a first officer I am more concerned about my insurance and take home pay than I am a preferential interview. I'd rather have my doctor bills covered than be a quota number. 35% is an awfully low number. A preferential interview or a flow through given Delta's history will not sway me to vote yes if those other items aren't addressed.

Here's one resason why some people think a flow is bad. Typically, airlines will not fill the entire class with flows. The number of flows per class is generally limited. This prevents a crippling effect on the regional the pilots are flowing from due to large amounts of attrition. That in turn hurts the feed of the airline the pilots are flowing to as well.
So, if one has to wait for their flow number while hiring off the street occurs said individual could lose hundreds of seniority numbers to those being hired off the street.

I've always wondered this same thing... I'm good enough to fly Delta's customers, but not for Delta?
