Compass is running about 4 years to upgrade right now, will go way down if these mythical flows to Delta actually happen. Pay is ok for regionals and contract has some pluses and minuses with the very big caveat that it is up for renewal with TSH and will be done with negotiations and have a new contract by Nov. New one in all likelihood will be worse than current one.
