Heyas,
No, a Compass divestiture does not affect the flow. The only way the flow changes is if BOTH parties agree.
I don't think the flow, as it stands, would survive at RAH. Failure to maintain the flow would result in draconian 70 seat cuts, which I don't think mama DAL would be willing to deal with right now.
It's interesting to note, though, that DALs most serious competitors, AMR, CAL, and SWA have little or no 70 seat feed, and I've heard serious talk that the whole 70 seat program is being re-considered along the same lines as the 50 seat program. The are BIG DCI cuts coming, and I've heard that this time next year there will be at least one less wholly owned.
