actually a320 i was at the regionals in the ealy 90's...we wanted to get a flow up/flow down agreement with our big brothers....this was before delta bought ASA and Comair....i was on a committee with ALPO National and also worked with our big brother MEC on the issue...granted, these issues would have to have been negotiated and then put into contracts, but our big brother MEC never would bring it to the table....then National scrapped the whole thing...

this is how it would have worked....Comair guy, after 3 years PIC in the RJ, flows up to Delta....during ecomomic downturn..like 9/11 and beyond...Delta furloughees ..would flow down to the RJ....BIG debate on which seat....most likely would have been down to RJ F/O...

the irony is that i was at a legacy after 9/11 and had no job to flow down to....

I believe this is the big issue....the big boys and their regional partners..essentially...comair is delta's B scale (actually C now)....but they want to blame b6 and vx.....
