Moreover, if there is only a flow down, what is the likeliness that a flow down will flow in to a hostile environment. Read the LOA's; get fired from Mesaba or CPS and lose your DAL number. With language like that, it is important that if the flow downs are kept, we make sure the environment is not hostile for the pilots that opt to flow down. That said, one way to do it, is to not irk the LCA's and APD's by taking the flow up away. The other way is to nuke all of them. Be careful how you craft your argument. The same pilots than can have their flow unilaterally canceled by management can make your life a living nightmare in the even of a flow down.

Not going to express my opinion on this issue. I just want us to realize it is not cut and dry. If you cancel any part of the flow, the quality and the value of what we "had" prior to the sale has materially changed.
