What happens if people have to flow back. There is nothing in our pinnacle contract that allows that so they cant flow here. And I am sure they wont be allowed to flow to colgan/mesaba since they wont even be flying for delta anymore if they go there. It will be easier for the flow to end then to keep it going.
Yes but it is a little more complicated than that. It isn't all about you/me/us. There are Delta scope implications. I'm sure Delta wants it gone and yes it might be difficult and confusing for you and your company to work out. However I do not think the Delta pilots are going to give up a negotiated benefit that helps to prevent furloughs of their pilots for the sole reason that it is easier for your company. In the end it is a Delta and Delta MEC issue, you and your company have very little (if any) say in the issue at this point in time.
