I've seen this scenario once in my career and this one is playing out basically the same way. When we kicked CPS off our MEC the writing was on the wall that they would be sold and the flow cancelled. Trans States and Delta will try and get out of the flow agreement. If ALPA goes to work some of the guys who are now eligible to flow will come over and the rest might get guaranteed interviews. Any newhires will get nothing. I also think we will see the flow-back provision cancelled and we'll all move on as seperate carriers with no flow provisions.

I posted this same view last fall when we voted them out of the MEC, but I can't seem to find the post to quote it. The only surprise in this whole deal was how little money they got out of CPS. Delta really wants them out of the house if they took 20 million for them.
