And I'm sure someone will chime in about not having all the facts, (i don't), but the result is still the same...the only wholly owned that doesn't have an option to flow-through with Delta announcing hiring.
...but then, you already knew that!
I remember that, and I am still scratching my head as to why this was never agreed upon. IIRC, there would have been options for people that didn't want to flow, so they wouldn't have to worry about being displace by a DL furloughee. I think some of the concern, misplaced as it was, was that DL was about to furlough thousands of pilots and OH pilots thought that that was the only reason they were amenable to such an arrangement. Seriously, does anyone think any pilot group would negotiate any such thing out of the goodness of their hearts?
