Flow through was suggested during the prep for C2K but was snubbed by both MECs. After all, they wanted to follow their checklist---as they flew their airplane into the ground.
Compel the company to take their product back, and bring other companies on board with taking THEIR product back, do not let go of any more flying, and negotiate for the cancellation of feeder contracts as they come up for renewal. Elect leadership which will carry through on their promises.
I know if I was a Rep, I would be championing a return of the flying and at a minimum a sunset off all of the DCI CPA's as they came up for renewal. Put the rat back in the sewer.
As for flows, they alone do nothing for leverage or unity. They still allow the flying to stay off the list. If you had an agreement to park jets at the DCI level as pilots flowed, that would be one thing, but absent any sort of deal like that, it is good for those pilots that want to come to Ma Delta, but not good for our leverage, or our product.
