Delta will offer employment to an eligible Compass pilot before any other pilot candidate for hire in seniority order. To be eligible, a Compass pilot must: (1) be a Captain; and (2) have at least 30 months on payroll.
Unless waived by Delta & Compass, the max number of Compass pilots flowing up to Delta will be the lesser of: (1) 25% of total Compass pilots in any rolling 12-months, or (2) 20 per month.
A Compass pilot who fails initial training at Delta may return to Compass at his previous seniority and longevity.
You clearly know what you are talking about.
Exactly. Only those hired PRIOR to the sale kept the flow through rights WITH RESTRICTIONS. Even LESS Mesaba guys kept their flow through rights after the sale. In other words, don't count on ANYTHING if there is a sale or spin off involved. (But at this point that is way too far out to predict. I'd say status quo at the wholly owned subsidiaries for the first 18-24 months. They have much bigger things to deal with first...just observe the United and Delta mergers. The subsidiaries are the last thing they get to.)
