To my fellow Compass Aviators:

Your snack basket committee is hard at work behind the scenes as we have been attempting to renegotiate our catering contracts. Surprisingly and unfortunately, this has spilled over into a larger discussion between FFD carriers as to how our snack baskets might be divided up were we to fail. Some in the industry would posit that the customer complaints are symptomatic of a larger need to consolidate our snack baskets with other carriers. They envision our stoopwaffles going to YX, our popcorn to OO, and our belgian waffles to 9E.

However, we believe that this fear-mongering has no place in our snack baskets. Although our company has remained silent on the issue, we are confident our position is strong in 2019. We have a unique product among our peers which can't be easily replaced. Delta knows this and we are certain they will deliver an extension.

We want you to be aware, however, that there is always a chance we might have to make certain contractual concessions, pardon the pun, without a union vote in order to keep our costs down in anticipation of securing a deal. We trust you understand the delicateness of the situation and need you to do your part on the line. Keep the seats down, straps loose, and the leftover baskets available to the next crew. Meanwhile, I will personally keep you updated of the situation with the contracts, unless of course, I were to get an interview somewhere. In that case, my full attention would be on the success of myself. You understand..

Until then,

Eat snacks and fly your contract
