Oh, and if you haven't noticed yet, flow through agreements are used by management as a retainment tool...not as a wonderful gift they are so happy to give pilots. Some folks do benefit by flowing in a reasonable time frame, but the name of the game is making you think twice before jumping to an LCC, major, etc. Way to many pilots fell victim over at Eagle bypassing good opportunities because that easy job at AA was right around the corner.

Remember, management is looking out for shareholders and themselves...not for folks like you. Besides, the I've never seen more "Maybes" and conditional statements in a contract than the LOA you guys just pushed through. I'd be looking out for the con...just sayin'.
Where did Piedmont people say it was all unicorns and slurpee machines??
We've protected ourselves the best we can. That's all we could do in this time period. As for the flow nobody has to go to American. Delta, United and JetBlue are hiring. This flow is just a get out of jail if needed deal. I know many people that want to go to Delta.

Believe me we are far from excited for this deal. It was survival to fight another day.
