Compass new bases after Delta NW Merge?

[Tram]

I don't think Compass will be around in two years.

And if they are.. the guys flying the planes today, won't be the guys flying the planes in 2 years...

Wonder where all those NWA DC-9 drivers are gonna go..

Flow back from Delta and Northwest? Ouch..

Could happen, but what would be wrong with that? Then these folks would be assured to be flying for one of the worlds largest airlines. And with a mass of retirements over the next 8 years that won't be bad for anyone in there 30's.

Not bad if you ask me. Yea, there's risk going to Compass. But name me one regional airline that isn't risky.

Eh, I guess if you are one of the guys currently keeping a seat warm at Compass, I can find plenty wrong with it..

You really come across as a prick.

Do you realize that about half of the pilots at Compass are there because they were already laid-off or furloughed from other airlines?

Where do YOU work that's so protected?

Do you fly something with 50 seats that mainline is about to attempt to park ASAP? "Ouch..."

Thanks Dylin. I was wondering how to word that, but I think you hit the nail on the head.

See we're really stupid because we're at Compass and he's at Pinnacle so that means he's really smart.

The point being is no one has a crystal ball here and we're all at the mercy of the economy and the wind that blows from Atlanta.

Hi!

The current plan is the -9 drivers are going to fly the Bombardier "C" when it starts to replace the -9s in 2012.

Obviously, plans can change, and Boeing is hoping DAL will wait LONGER to replace the -9s so their "C" competitor will be in the running.

Let me scratch off some basses for you.

Memphis is as good as closed. CVG is on the block. Look at the hubs... then look at a map of the US. Then think... which ones would I close if I couldn't make a profit.

I would just start a trucking company. At least, there is a possibility of a profit.

Yeah he is one of those guys you see walking around with the "99%" sticker on his flight bag and then makes comments like that. Why don't you worry about your contract that expired 3.5 years ago tool.
