We don't need more 76 seat airplanes...we need a defined path to DL. We are the only wholly owned carrier in the world without a direct path to our major counterpart. We most likely will never see it, but it is interesting nonetheless.
We need a healthy flow-up, flow-back program.

Hahah- keep dreaming.

As long as the people in the driver seat at DL as far as pilot hiring is concerned stay in those positions, a flow program will never happen again. Delta wants everyone to go through the same process. If you go to a job fair and have the opportunity to talk to any of the higher ups they will tell you that, they will tell you the flow program for CP and XJ was the worst thing that happened to them as far as pilot hiring is concerned. They took a select few people from NWAirlink carriers that were not DL material and I don't think they want that to happen again. 99% of the people that flowed were great people, but they are looking for a certain candidate right now and want the process to be as standardized as possible.

And several have... a couple have even been sent back to Endeavor (that we never wanted back ) as they didn't make it through probation at Delta and somehow after resigning from Endeavor (not a flow) got their old seniority number back after failing out of Delta

ex military pilots are all great sticks. I think that the flow people get a bad
rap because they were flow people (given a job) didn't earn it even though
most had 10+ years as a regional pilot and 8 of those as a captain. We sent over ONE trouble maker on the flow and they're no longer there.
Just as regionals change there hiring standards/minimums so will mainline.
You think every Delta pilot has a four degree? NO.
Times they are a changing.

Delta still has plenty of applications on file. Until that pool comes down, don't expect Delta to consider a flow through. It's also no secret that Delta loves ex military pilots, which don't come from a flow and there are also plenty of them out there right now. Could change in the future, but not for several years in my opinion
