Possible effect of Northwest bankrupty on Mesaba or Pinnacle??

I don't think we will see a flow through at Mesaba. We turned one down five years ago, primarily due to the fact that the best offer was at a rate 1/4 the rate they were hiring our pilots without a flow. It wasn't going to be an add to the rate of hiring but as an absolute. With four times as many guys and gals going without it, why ruin a good thing. It would have only helped the very senior pilots who didn'g get in without the flow. I'll bet that we see flows become a thing of the past, especially with the gains to management from whipsaws.

I am pretty sure it wasn't a flow through that was offered.I think it was a prefrential interview
