I for one am in favor of the flow throughs. I watched this recession unfold from less than 50 seats from the bottom of the list, and I think the flow is probably one of the things that kept me employed.
I probably would not have flowed, had a furlough come to pass. My wife would have made more going back to work than I would as a compass FO. But I do believe the THREAT of the cost of me flowing back was a factor in me keeping my job.
I think the upflow should be honored for those who are currently on (Compass) property. Its the right thing to do.
I also think if the flow is terminated, we need to stick to our guns on the 85 jet cap. You agreed to it, you honor it. Personally, I think management will view loosing those seats as higher cost than keeping the flowdown.
