CLAMP and Johnson, if flow thru is so great why did ALPA and Management only offer the Pinnacle pilots "expedited interview" (whatever that means)? Fear of too many "undesirables" on your list I presume. That speaks volumes toward the argument that flows don't work, don't you think?

Lets see the "new" norm that your pilot groups set!
BTW I voted NO.

I can't count how many 9E guys have said they voted no.... 85% is a pretty overwhelming number.

Dude... Get over it already. At least you don't work there. You seem pretty miserable in life... Worry about your own pilot group.

I prefer the guaranteed interview because there definitely are too many undesireables that need screening at 9E.

As has been mentioned previously a guaranteed interview doesn't have much value to a thinking person, therefore it's utility at improving retention is pretty low.

I've flown with at least 1000 captains at 3 different regionals due to multiple furloughs. The captains at 9E aren't any different or unsafe or "undesireable" than any other airline I've worked for. Of course there are a few who I'd avoid, but that's anywhere on any seniority list I'd imagine.

It does a great job of weeding 99% of them.
