Not really... I'm saying that per the flow through agreement the amount of flow backs that can occur to Mesaba must be the same number of flow ups. In other words, it's a vastly different flowback than Compass has. Only about 12 Mesaba guys flowed to NWA, so the same amount could flowback into XJ should furloughs occur. These flowbacks didn't have to have previously flown at XJ and can be anyone scheduled to be furloughed.

When the guys left XJ to flow to NWA, their seniority number and position became "FLOW" as opposed to a number, name and equipment type. It is my understanding that the flowbacks will only occupy those exact same positions, be it Saab CA in DTW or 900 CA in MSP. In this scenario, nobody will get displaced or bumped down the seniority list by a flowback. I guess this is what we got in exchange for lower allowable flow UP positions available to XJ pilots. Fine in my book.
