If all else fails, then Delta will go to Comair and say, "here's a new flow-down you will honor or we'll park all the jets". There will be a flow-down somewhere, it might just not be at Compass or Mesaba. As far as flow-ups go, I think we all know how Delta feels about that and I won't be surprised to see all flow-up provisions come to an end.
Mesaba pilots won't allow a flow down without a flow up. It must remain equal on both ends. I highly doubt DALPA would even put this insult on the table.
