Compass new bases after Delta NW Merge?

[skipro101]

Whats the chance that Compass would eventually get Western bases after Delta and NW merge?

 

[Skyjet]

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

There is a chance, but who knows?

Come on down to ATL............why not, everyone else is here!

 

[rightseatjocky]

Amen to that 79.......
I welcome them to Atlanta.. please come down here and they can experience the holding and vectoring for no reason.

Block or Better takes that sting off. Now if its the go home leg, thats a different story.

I heard a rumor from top management at Republic that they are in the works of purchasing Compass. I believe that an anouncement will be made after the new year...

This has been around the rumor mill for awhile. Our new DL 175's are exact copies of the compass birds.

I think the NW pilot contract prevents a sale for 36 mo.

Explain.

CURRENT Compass guy in charge OR those that formed it, was the same as MDA. UH OH!!!

Enough?

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.

 

[Bleedovertemp]

Got some furloughed friends over there and per the head honchos Delta says MEM stays. But you know how the grapevine goes.

Mke .

It would be difficult to sell an airline in this market. However, Delta's management talks from time to time about sales of their WO carriers.

I predict that when the SLI is complete you will see the CPZ pilots stapled to the bottom and all the CPZ planes flown by DAL. You heard it here first!
