What's going on at Compass Air?

Well, if this bit of hiring at DL is true, this is good news for Mesaba as well. Maybe it'll slow our furloughing down and reverse the trend.

it will be a cold day in hell before an hour of Compass block is cheaper than an hour of 9E block....keep dreamin...

Might want to fact check that, but if 9E wants to reduce costs, go for it.

CPS is a shell corporation that has minimal costs attached to it.

Well Maybe? It depends on how delta runs the classes. (If they Hire)

If they run a class of 20 once a month all the position would be compass until 25% of the compass list was gone in a rolling 12 months.

If they run a class of 40 twice a month still only 20 of those positions would be compass, some mesaba and some off the street.

It really just depends on how they would run classes if they do indeed end up hiring.

Compass could only lose 80ish per rolling 12 months

In all seriousness... Can CP even hande losing 20 captains a month and the hiring and upgrading that would need to happen to support that kind of attritian? Not to mention all the while keeping the operation running reliably. It just doesn't seem realistic.

JUST TO clarify, not LOA's, LOR's

They could but it is very inefficient, and probably better just to include them in the DAL operation.

I'm sure that no Compass pilot would complain!

Too late for that, reference DAL MEC decision.

CP kicked to the curb

Why did Moak kick CP to the curb? They didn't want a merged CP,CMR Mesaba, group tied to the NW/DAL MEC. Just a thought.
