never said it was personal. I am educating you on the info i have via the NWA side. Scope is an issue in the NWA/DAL joint contract and they supposedly are working on reducing and capping the number of 70 seaters allowed. DAL wants less regional jets now hence them cancelling contracts and reducing the number of "rj's". NWA has a scope clause and the only reason why some of us even talk about wanting Compass on the list is to help compass and mesaba guys while also helping us. The 175's and crj900s should have never gone to any regional and no matter what side of the fence you are on i think we can all agree on that. Compass guys are subject to seat loss in the event of furloughs at NWA so it would be in their best interest to get on the mainline list now if it ever became an option because at least in the event of furloughs they can come back to the new NWA/DAL and come back to much higher wages. Mesabas flow agreement is different and more restrictive so it would be a different story. Its all bs anyway because the likely hood of the senior guys to see this as an issue is slim. Who knows? Stranger things have happened in this crazy industry.
