My blue suit, red tie, and 50 bucks to airline apps have been waiting!! 
I posted this in another thread but realized it was the wrong one. Here is my question
Someone brought this up on our board but how does the flow through work? Does that mean delta HAS to have that many flow up? Does Delta have to give that many jobs to mesaba and compass or is it just interviews? I guess my question is this. Say there are 30 compass guys trying to flow up and 30 from other airlines. The class they want to run will be 40. Does delta HAVE to take 20 of the compass pilots before they can move on and hire the 10 other applicants?

1) Furlough bypass recalls
2) Compass pilots - 20/month every month up to 25% of the total list in a rolling 1 year period - currently ~400 total CP pilots
3) Mesaba pilots - 9/month, no limit yearly
4) Off the street hires

That just seems weird for delta and the delta pilots. So they have pretty much given up all control of what type of pilot they want amongst their ranks. No matter the person or personality once their number is up at compass or mesaba they get to go with no say from the company or the union? (from what I read in another thread they dont have to interview or anything, they just go to new hire class.)

None the less, cpz is about to see significant movement throughout their ranks.
Btw - about the interview- the compass pilots were interviewed via Nwa and future pilots for compass will be interviewed by delta going forward. So they have interviewed.

Ummm unless I missed something, Delta management hires pilots, not DALPA nor the Delta pilots... always been that way.

Airsupport, I was interviewed at Compass by a NWA 747 line check airman, a 330 captain, a delta manager, compass HR rep, and the system chief pilot of compass. That was in December, soon the psych eval will be included. Around 2000 TT, 1100 turbine for those interested.
