There are no changes to current book with Compass and Mesaba.

I doubt the talk of flow through agreements was any more than political eyewash which gets passed around at every contract negotiation.

Flow agreements facilitate outsourcing. I'd rather we hire "Delta Pilots" and give the guy a number rather than wasting time on a promise which more often than not does not end up happening (and when it did happen costs many years of longevity).
