Highly unlikely. For one, the flowthrough program is part of the WOs' contract. So they'd have to go down that road of fighting contractual language. But more importantly, flow is how they keep their regionals staffed. They don't have flow to staff AA. If they messed with that, there would be a mass exodus from their regionals which would do more harm than good. It's their main recruiting tool.

So the contracts specify what the rate of flow is?

Wrong, it’s contractual and written in no uncertain terms. Why make stuff up when you don’t know the facts

Yeah, it's contractual.

There is some language to slow it down for operational necessity.

The Delta Guaranteed Interviews from Endeavor are metered as well. A guy in my interview won’t get a class until May, where all the rest of the interview group received a March class. Costing him about 300 numbers at delta, could be the difference in a lot in this career.

A lot of guys want to knock the flow, but think of it as a guaranteed card in your back pocket. You can still apply to other places and and AA outside of the flow and if you can’t for some reason get a call, your flow date is only getting closer. Think of it as if you are playing with house money.

By by taking one of the WOs off of your table of options, well your chances have gotten ever smaller for getting in off the street at AA unless you have a solid resume (military, PIC time, LCA, Volunteering, Leadership roles).

Personally think the flow will increase around the corner.

Personally I don’t know a single person that’s gotten on with the big 3 from rpa unless they were prior military. Everyone I know that left has gone to a LCC and I honestly don’t count that. funny thing is most of the guys I went to flight school with are all at the majors by now that chose other places initially (flow to aa, got in with UA CPP, or just a plain invite). Not a knock at rpa this is just from my personal perspective..no regrets though.

Well, it’s published by the union. There are several without prior mil. I doubt they’re making it up.

I don’t “personally “ know any either

I am not prior mil. I leave for delta next month.

Don’t spread misinformation.
