The top 10% of the Compass group is protected. So, about 25-35 guys. If NWA/DAL furloughs they flow back to Compass or Mesaba;only 15 can flow to Mesabe, because only 15 came up to NWA, thus sending the Compass guys to the street. Still worth the risk in my mind. From what I understand, GLA is taking a bunch of guys. So, you could take your licks there for 3 or 4 yrs and hope to get picked up by a Major or NJA or Cargo. The important thing to do, is understand this is NOT a vacation or a time to feel sorry for yourselves. Step 1 get unemployment. Step 2 get the 737 type with government assist. Or see how much the govt pays and get another type in a corporate aircraft. Step 3 get a flying job if that is what you still want to do. Keep your flight time current. That is my best info...


CA RYN---do not wait for DAL to f over Comair. Think about it, what good has DAL done for Comair in the last 5 or even 10 yrs? Lets See!
Taken flying away from.
Promised flying with cuts/freezes.
Taken into BR

Get out while the getting is good. GET THE TYPE from the GVT.
