yes, and when the airline gets sold, you lose your flowthrough rights and are on the bottom of another regionals seniority list, maybe even pinnacles

The Mesaba / NWA Flow Through agreement is posted on the Mesaba Union website.

Perhaps this was already answered, but how does the Mesaba flow-up to NWA relate to the Compass agreement? The Compass contract states that Compass pilots have the flow-up rights FIRST before all other pilots. If Compass begins supplying pilots after the 30 month commitment, wouldn't any flow-up for Mesaba guys be essentially impossible/useless 30 months from now? NWA would have to be extremely short on pilots, and many Compass guys would have to bypass flow-up in order for it to benefit Mesaba. I can only see Mesaba taking advantage of it within the next 2 years and then being forced to take a backseat to Compass. Correct me if I'm wrong please...

Eagle's flow through agreement said that all AA new hire classes must be comprised of 50% Eagle pilots. That didn't happen either. I wouldn't trust my career to a flow through. If it works out.....awsome! have plans for otherwise.

According to the email details are still being worked out, but here's the gist.

Thanks for sharing that with us. There are a few differences between that and the Compass arrangement. Should make for an interesting '08. Either way, good luck to all of us!
