I'm not sure I follow you regarding offsets, but as I understand it - there will be a replacement for the 9's. At the mainline level. Possibly 190's. More to follow after I do some digging...

Not a bad question, I'm sure others will have 'opinions' about it but a flowback is essentially a form of job security for the pilots of the parent company, and a source of motivation for the pilots at the regional who wish to fly for the parent company someday. Let's say NWA says they're going to furlough X amount of pilots for X amount of reasons. Those pilots would have the option to flowback to the wholly owned carrier (i.e. Compass/Mesaba), displacing the pilots at the regional carrier from the top. A few years ago this occured with American and American Eagle. In the perfect world, there would only be flow-up. Either way, you will always find that it's a sore subject for a few because not everyone always benefits from it. Hope this helps. I'm sure others will sound off.
