On the first part, I am not too sure as there are many guys on our list that will "pressure" the union in to dumping the flow because DAL will not have a bit of say in the interview process. Just sayin, and please do not tell me about the contractual requirements of the flow. Just pointing out that many pilots here will not like that.
If they do an SLI it depends on what cert you are on and or if the Mesaba and or CPS certs would survive the combination.
I could say more but will just see how the cards play out.
