The old Eagle flow-thru was negotiated in a matter of weeks. If Delta and United see pilots making lateral moves to Envoy threatening their feed and their competitiveness, they'll act rapidly to develop their own flow-thru's. Pilots at their respective carriers won't shoot craps starting at the bottom with Parker, especially considering his last attempted gutting at Envoy when they can get the same promise from their carriers. For non-wholly owned carriers it will be tied to a long-term feed contract.

I'm sure many at APA might desire such a plan (and apparently some don't) and Parker might want it, but I think it will fail if they try it and depend on it at least as far as believing it will cause a mass migration to Envoy.
