I think you misunderstood the main content of my post. No one is attempting to throw you guys under the bus. We have nothing to gain by that. At any case don't take these posts too seriously. These are just speculations. I wrote that merger between Mesaba and Compass will not happen. Like you said, Compass is a virtual company and eveything is outsourced except pilots and FAs. What would be gained by merging Mesaba and Compass? Nothing that I can see from the NWA standpoint. BTW, Compass did offer me a job last year and I turned them down because I had already accepted an offer from Mesaba.
I should have added the more likely scenario is that Compass will be sold after the DAL/NWA merger to another carrier. This is the latest rumor I have heard while I was at the NWA/DAL joint merger presentation. But I do not believe it will happen anytime soon because NWA pilots want Compass to be around.
