All of the training fail issues are addressed in the LOA's. I suggest you go read them. Also, I know that we have talked about the flows coming off of probation, but I cannot find any language in any of the three LOA's that address the flows that states this. Flow downs are off probation is they have over 12 months with DAL or flow to a Capt position, but it does not address the flow up. That said, they will be able to deal with whomever they want.

CPS flows 20 per month to a max of 25% of their list and Mesaba flows 9 per month.
The hold backs get a seniority number on the date they were to be in class, and start collecting longevity. All of this is addressed in those pesky little LOA's. They are a long read though.

As for the MEC issue. It is done, and decided, fighting over yesterday's spilled milk serves no one. CPS has their own MEC. An opportunity lost? Probably.
If the 195 was a decent platform you may see a push for the CPS list merged, but since it is old technology, it probably will not be. DCI is going to change and we will all have to watch as that story develops.

Congrats to the FIVE of EIGHT pilots that made it past day one today! Hope tomorrow goes well.
