Nu,
I agree with you. It is in our contract, but it remains academic until someone gets furloughed & there are jobs at ASA or Comair. So far by avoiding furloughs it has not been tested.
At the end of the day I'm satisfied simply if everyone understands flow down off property is not a substitute for scope. It is another mechanism to outsource Delta jobs.
I'd perfer stronger scope, or TDY while remaining an active duty Delta pilot. Either of these concepts would provide better job security than a flow down.
