This is all very true. From what I've heard at Southern Jets HQ, there was a lot of entitlement of guys flowing to DL. A lot struggled in training because of what you said but also an inherent laziness of simply flowing without necessarily earning an actual DL job (see guy flipping off sim instructor during initial). Unfortunately this let in a few bad apples who ruined it for everyone else. This is also a concern for the AA flows. I feel there are going to be an alarming number of people that shouldn't be anywhere near a mainline cockpit. That being said, I am sure the majority of the flows were great dudes. Sadly it just takes a few to ruin it (talking about you mainline FA jumpseat privileges).

Looks like a new email/list from JS on this...hopefully your included now. I think it was always looked at as a date of interview and not class date, that's it...which is unfortunate.
In all reality I'm pretty sure like others have mentioned the DPI means nothing other than a warm fuzzy feeling for those who have it next to there names. I'm guessing anyone that's DPI eligible and had an application in within the last year at Delta has already been looked at and scored. From friends that have interviewed in ATL, Compass has a pretty good reputation down there...hopefully it stays that way.

To be clear only the flow guys have the bad reputation... if you say you're from compass expect to be asked "you're not one of those.. flow guys... are you?"

There was also some heartburn on the delta side because they were having to hire people that they did not "vett". The street flows both ways.

They HAD a bad reputation. Like it was previously stated, those were the flow guys (again only a small percentage at that). Talked to some DL management in ATL. They said DL didn't have an problem with CPZ pilots. It's TSH management that they don't like.
