I believe that you are right that the flow thru Mesaba and Compass pilots when they get to 30 months will have priority over any new hires. Compass 1st hired pilots in march maybe april of 2007, so those flow thrus from Compass wont start until Septemeber 2009 and later, as long as Delta is hiring[/quot
I think you are wrong there. At our Chief Pilot's meeting last night he explained it to us as, the first 29 pilots will come from a combined Compass Mesaba flow up agreement. Delta is looking at hiring say 300 pilots at one time, defering some training dates that way they will get their ability to actually select 271 out of those 300. Also we were told that they are looking at how they can legally enforce our requirement for the 4 year degree on anyone flowing up!

I don’t have the language in front of me, but I believe that there are provisions in the flow to prevent this. I think that the flow is based on the number off classes in a month, and more pilots can flow if they skip a month or two of classes(in this case hire for months worth of classes) to average out to 9 a month.
edit: 9 from Mesaba, I don't know if Compass has the same provision or not.
