Delta pilots, does this apply to ASA?

[Plug]

The letter was signed back in 2006, obviously prior to the merger announcement. Is it even valid anyone other than the Airlink crews?

This letter applies only to Compass and Mesaba. ASA, Comair, Skywest, et al, have never entered a formal flowthrough agreement with anyone. This is what this is.

Yes, to any DCI carriers that add 70-76 seaters post merger who CHOOSE to participate in a flow agreement. Nothing is being crammed down if you don't want to play, only limiting your further growth, or possible shrinkage.

As has been pointed out if they choose not to DAL can move acft from one DCI carrier that does not to one that does. As this was signed by DAL that owns your contract flying, yes it is legal.

 

[www.]

What does that mean? Does it apply to us?

It means your a PUTZ. Go to the people that deal with this and get an answer, not FI.

As for your time with contract language, HA!

I think it applies to any one trick pony carrier that owes its existence to the flying given to them by Delta. You are welcome and prepare to scoot over to the right seat if I get furloughed.

I actually relish the opportunity to fly with a prick like you!

It isn't my flying as my contract gives me any jet flying over 50 seats. The only time I do anything with the DAL code is when I commute up to EWR.

Interestingly enough, when I was at ASA a few years ago and DAL pilots were on furlough I and some others pushed a petition similar to this LOA. Needless to say, some senior ASA lifers got a little pissed and it died. Should be interesting to see how this goes over.

This LOA was carried over to the New Delta contract as part of Attachment C.

It also depends on the category of the feeder. In some instances it's not flow through agreement, it's preferential hiring.

Hell if I'll share a flight deck with a flowback DAL guy until all ASA guys are back at work. Then feel free to pull up a right seat with a side of reserve.

I'm all for preferential hiring if guys are out on the street without them having to give up seniority at their furloughed carrier, but forced down the throat flowbacks? nu uh.

Too many DAL guys (not all, but too many) have been burning bridges with their attitudes for way too long. Number of friends is dwindling.

You won't be forced to do anything. Your slice of the pie will merely cease to grow, and could quite possibly shrink. And so it goes.
