Ok - I buy the differences that are apparent between CPZ and OH/XJ. I get the baby steps issue and the issue that this is a starting point. These are all givens, based on the structure of the entity and how Compass came to be during the NWA bankruptcy.
My beef is this: Just stick to the facts that carry weight! Give up on all the BS that Compass pilots are pre-screened NWA pilots, are more qualified, are PICs, ATPs, their training is better yadda yadda yadda. If you truly are fighting for the rest of us and this is indeed just a starting point, don't insult the rest of us with the arrogance and patronizing reasons to start with CPZ! It's doing nobody a favor. My other beef is that everyone is so caught up with JET scope and capturing jet flying. Shouldn't you want ALL flying? Even large t-props?
Further... what makes you think DL mgmt want to cram 88 seats into that thing anyhow? All those trans pacific and trans atlantic flights are filled with people that BUY those Biz-Elite seats. How do you think they get to MSP, DTW, MEM, JFK, CVG, ATL, SLC and all the gateways? On mainline and DCI planes with a FC cabin is how. Whoever flies the large RJs, it doesn't matter, DL mgmt is going to want FC seats for their bread and butter full fare business class people.
edit - AC you had me for a moment, until you added your last post regarding the interviewing etc... You just don't get it. Quit the arrogant, you shoulda applied and you'd know attitude. If it doesn't have anything to do with it... why then did you feel the need to add a whole new post on the issue? Again, just stick to the facts that will help you with your cause and knock it off with the arrogance.
