This place unfortunately is the type to withhold bad information until (or after) they legally need to disclose it. Pretty sure there’s a federal law that requires 60 days notice to “significant furloughs or shutdown” but even then not sure they’d honor that.

Reminds me of 2017

“Are you closing MSP? Rumors are circulating.”

“No, and we don’t have any 787’s on order, either.”

*2 days later*

“It is with a heavy heart that we must announce the drawdown and closure of the MSP crew base....”
In BG's defense, the actual question was "do you think MSP will GROW?" To which he said "no. We do not anticipate it growing."

Source: I was working the day of that employee call and didn't have a chance to listen to the recording until after the memo was posted about the MSP base closing. So I listened to that recording (and had seen the outrage) with that in mind. Not arguing that it's frustrating, but BG also admitted at the beginning of the MSP base closure call that he did know but didn't want to drop info of that magnitude at the end of an employee call. I can see the logic behind that, but I can very much see where the outrage can come from.

And no, I am not, nor ever was anything more than your "average Joe" line pilot while at Compass in case you think I am former management or anything.
