New flying, higher FO pay and commuter hotels is what I think is going to happen. Transstates already raised the pay to $35/hr and that's even published on their site - I think it's just a matter of time before Compass does something similar. In regards to the new flying- it's simple math, we're already fully staffed for the airplanes on property + flows. They wouldn't be hiring 40-50 a month till spring unless something was up. Other regionals have been offering the 4 hotels per month for quite some time.
I don't know anyone at Compass and I don't have the "scoop" like Rama04 claims he does, I'm just basing these things on logic and common sense. Although....that has never been the case with regionals so we shall see.
Really, at this point, it's not even worth speculating until an announcement is made. Life is easier that way. You can't get let down with hopes set too high. When something is announced, you'll know. Just my .02.
