I'd say almost all the pilots that will get displaced next week to LAX FO (around 20), are still not even finished with training. They might have to spend a month or maybe 2 or 3 in LAX. I would imagine though that Compass is going to have to get the class sizes up to 10-20 a month starting in late July or early August. Once the first of those pilots finish training (around late September), the pilots who are currently being displaced will move gain around 10% in bidding % every month. By the end of the year, they could find themselves approaching the 50% mark amongst bidders for MSP FO.

Compass still seems to be losing a good number of pilots outside of the flow, so there is still going to be continuous movement even during the 4 months between the 2014 and 2015 flows. Then the mass exodus of pilots to DL picks back up again in early 2015.

Bottom line, I don't think those who are displaced are going to be there very long at all.
