Compass cancer growing

Very sad and I feel bad to see what continues to happen at NWA, but it is far from unexpected. Your airline starts another alter ego airline and you are surprised when they start to infringe on the mainline flying? The downward spiral continues.

Good Luck.

Most likely a one off deal or a screw up during sch change. Not the first time this stuff has happened as about 18 yrs ago I showed up at a layover staion and a Metro was there to take me back to DTW.

Lately Compass has been flying NWA routes with NWA flight numbers.

A DC9 crew showed up at their gate only to find that a Compass aircraft was flying their flight, and Dispatch never told crew scheduling about the change.

What?..How is this a dispatch problem?..

What?..How is this a dispatch problem?..

The "Planner" occupies a cubicle at one end of the NWA Systems Operation Center in MSP. Dispatch occupies the rest of the large room. The Planner is "they" as in...

"They gave a a plane-change in MEM."

"They want us to fly it with this MEL so it can be fixed in DCA overnight"

"They told us to hold at the gate for runners. We're the last flight to DEN"

"They found us a spare! You'll make your commuter flight home!"

The Planner also handles Compass flights.

One of 'em screwed up.

So who screwed up that the CPZ bid packet and schedules show NWA designated flight numbers flown by CPZ as far out as June?

Are you telling me that someone from ALPA doesn't look at the lines before they go out to the pilots and feeders? If not, why wasn't it caught before distribution to the pilots and CPZ, Mesaba and Pinnacle? Could your ALPA Rep have made a mistake when viewing the lines?

Dunno. I don't think the Scope Compliance guys review the Compass packages, but I only help with 24.B.2/3 stuff (Staffing), so I just don't know. I do know the Compass-operating-mainline-flight issue is Single-Target-Track with our Grievance folks.
