I think the flow was a good idea in the past - because Delta had some control over who was hired at Compass (and now Mesaba). I think that with the Compass and Mesaba sold, the flows should be terminated. I appreciate the furlough protection, but not when the companies I'm flowing too aren't owned by Delta.
Do we really want to flow back to Compass (now owned by Trans States?). It's not against the guys and gals flying there - that's not it - it's the owners. Ask Trans States guys what they think of working there.
Also, do we essentially want Trans States (or Pinnacle for that matter) deciding who gets hired at Delta Air Lines (which they would be doing with a flow up)?
