LOA for Compass and Mesaba flow ups to DL

[General Lee]

Looks like all 409 current Compass pilots and 108 Mesaba pilots get to flow up to Delta if they choose. Congrats to all involved, now and in the future.

Thats good news for many! I am sure many of the senior folks will hang out and stay, but for Junior Captains this is a great opportunity.

Lee, will there be mins attached? Like you have to have PIC time?

I am sure many at Compass and Mesaba do

He probably hates Delta. Good for Delta to help out Compass and Mesaba pilots.

Yes, because they usually sh*t all over regional pilots.

Congrats to them.

Hey General,

Is it true at Delta that if the face to face portion of the interview is a fail, you can never reapply?

Hey General,

Ahhhh, then its not a flowthru. Thats a preferential interview for a job. Thats what US Airways gave us...

 

[andyd]

that is a correct statement.

There is NO face to face interview for any of the Compass guys, and the 108 Mesaba guys get to come over via seniority. Some of the top Mesaba guys apparently want to stay Captains and don't want to come over to DL, which is up to them. It will go down the list and whichever 108 guys want it first, get to go. No interview for them either. (that is what I have heard anyway )

I believe that is correct.

LOL! Stupid Captains. If only they had any idea just how bad they are gonna get reamed up the rear once this whole Pinnacle 'asset transfer' and Colgan merger happen...

Jumping ship to Delta is probably the best thing you could do. I know it will be a paycut for 1 to 2 years, and a cut in days off, but you will lose much more by staying. Let me tell you, working for Phil T is not fun. Nor is it a career.

Nope, delta wanted a firm cutoff point on the Mesaba seniority list. They added 108 numbers (9/mo x 12 months) to the most senior pilot that hadn't yet flowed or bypassed. So exactly how many more flows there will be depends on how many people bypass.

 

[trip]

You would have to be really stupid to bypass IMHO.

HaHa,

Yeah, I read this thread and didn't post anything.....wait!

Delta still planning on taking 600 next year? This would allow them to do it without hiring off the street, though I think I remember reading they can't take all the Compass guys all at once.

The rumors are for a lot of hiring. Only 25% of the Compass list can flow in a rolling 12 month period.

 

[Xcorporate]

why 108 from Mesaba? Why not 110 or 150?
