Wasn't really a question about flow down, and my friend above is right that there is no flow down in effect at PSA. In any event, given the number of retirements AA has Armageddon would literally have to happen for AA to furlough.
My question was more about what the heck does DALPA have to do with a flow up? The company apparently can hire whom they choose.
