I definitely would not ask you to go back and compete for a job at Compass again as you imply in the last sentence. Why would I do that you already have a job there.
Maybe "reasonably informed" came off as a slight....thats not how I meant it. I don't think the average line pilot at DAL knows a thing about Compass nor would I really expect them to. Compass guys with flow rights were interviewed and hired by Northwest (By Delta for the few with flow rights that were hired between the merger and the sale of cpz that ended the flow). So yes, being hired by compass means we were hired by Delta. I know many don't agree with that system and I guess that's why it was ended. But you shouldn't begrudge the few of us who were hired under that system the spots they were promised.
