Compass For Sale ?

[JECKEL]

Rumor control ...

Have heard through the ALPA grapevine in the Delta network that, indeed,
Delta has plans (or thoughts) to sell Compass.

Has anyone heard anything remotely related to this?

Some talkative ALPA national committee guys seem to think it's a sure thing.

Any takers?

If they do, dont they have to get rid of some E175s?

If Compass is sold does the flow up agreement stay in tact or could it become null and void if Compass is sold off by DAL??

Buckle up boys, this should be good. Delta is ruthless when it comes to this kinda stuff.

republic will buy compass

republic will buy compass

Funny you should say that.

The three guys that have told me of the sale all work on ALPA National committees. After their time in DC, they all have returned home and said the same thing.

The one that returned last month said Republic would be the likely buyer.

And if history is a guide, in 3-5 years, Delta will destroy it.

Don't worry....In typical Delta fashion, they will sell it for a fraction of what it took to create/acquire it.

Not saying i believe this but the Flowthrough goes along with the sale if it ever did happen. IF the flow was ever cancelled, DAL would be forced to reduce the number of 70 or 76 seaters down to 86ish total airframes which is a massive cut from the current numbers. (= unlikely)
