I agree with you, especially after this weeks election anything possible. I hope that there is a flow however I just don't see it. Like some of the other posts have stated, Delta wants control and I believe they think everyone wants to work for them, so why just hand a job offer to a lowly regional guy. I feel that the powers that be at Delta as well as their pilot group have no respect for us regional guys and feel we don't deserve a flow. Maybe it goes back to the old Comair thing I don't know. I hope your right and I'm wrong, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
