Mesaba does not hold back
Endeavor SSB hires entitled to 1/3 the off the street slots per month (max 12/mo)
Furlough recalls completed in December - none in Jan
Here goes:
9 Mesaba +12 Endeavor = 21 slots/month
That leaves 29 per month for true off the street
58 in Jan and Feb combined
87 by March if Compass holds back the full 90 days
Once Compass flows start in, 7 Endeavor and 14 true off the street/mo
As of mid Nov approximately 100 true off the streets are in the pool
If anyone has different numbers or assumptions, please cite a credible reference.
Compass might not hold back the 1st class and then a max hold we are hearing is 60 days for future hold backs.
Last flows in 2010 were held back 90 days with 3 months heads up on hiring.
This time Delta gave them 6 month notice
