I'm in the middle here but NWA's new fleet plan doesn't call for a direct replacement for the 9. Instead they will utilize MESABA and Compass and the 76 aircraft they fly to cover some routes the 9 is flying. They are parking the DC9 and many aren't happy with us (XJ) and Compass because of the perception that we are stealing their jobs. It's been that way for a couple years ever since we were supposed to get the CRJ200's. NWA does call for more international flying on the A330 and 787 when it comes.

Whether they (NWA pilots) like Compass or not they agreed to its existence. All pilots have been recalled and many were asked if they would fly Compass and I think many said no. I wouldn't go there all giddy with the prospect of flying with NWA in the future.
