Compass will not be sold the chances are Mesaba and Compass will merge. Mesaba's 200 will go away and it will be a 3 aircraft airline with no 50 seaters. It will probably have 90 76 seat A/C and 50 SF340.
Why? Has nothing to do with staple. With Compass and RAH flying E-Jets for DAL it's easier to use them against one another. Just as DAL/NWA will be stronger in a merge so would RAH if it purchased Compass. Both pilot groups would benefit from it. If Compass forces RAH into a bidding war then the rock bottom prices equal rock bottom contract pay. We're in negotiations and I'd like to not see someone else used as a reason for us to not get top pay.
