You will know this, and I'm only curious, how many XJ flowthroughs were eligible to flow up to Delta in the 2010 cycle, and how many actually elected to go in that cycle?

Shy, when the 1st flows went to NWA in 2008 I think the most junior flow was around #70. There were only 4-6 in the top 100 who flowed as most were XJ Lifers. Once it hit triple digit seniority #'s with the 2010 flow groups, very few XJers turned it down. In the 2010 flow cycle, very few turned it down. With the remaining 60 who have flow tickets, I don't think you will have more than a few who turn it down. Hopefully we will find out soon.

If you believe it, I'm assuming you're still looking for Sasquatch.

You must be the almighty wise one with infinite knowledge and experience.

Nah, he's got a point. Until Delta actually starts interviewing (they don't even need to HIRE, just interview), this is all just theory and ranting on the internet. There's the 1/3rd number out there, but it just says they CAN. It doesn't necessarily mean they WILL interview FOs.

Until we see how the whole deal plays out in reality no one is right and on one is wrong. It's all just theory and heresay.

Besides, I've seen Sasquatch on the internet. They can't put anything that isn't true on the internet.

I don't think anyone will turn it down. The Mesaba of now is not the Mesaba of 2010.

Very true. I know a bunch of very senior XJ Capts turned down the flow who are now hoping to get an interview.

How many total XJ pilots had/have the option to flow? If turned down initially, it can't be accepted again?

Thanks
