My question was not in the context of "flow agreement." It refered to the previous post question of what happens if the Mesaba (or Compass, etc) pilot list is stapled to a merged NWA/Delta pilot list. All of a sudden 1,200 pilots (some with 10,000 hours and 15 years who never wanted to go to a major) are junior to the newest DC9 FO.

Sure would keep the sim instructors busy - oops, sorry they would be junior and have to go back to the line as FOs.
