Is this a reasonable solution for the Compass and Mesaba pilots regarding scope. Instead of flying a 100 seat aircraft at the regionals, you would move up into Delta? Just asking your view of this, not trying to stir the pot.

As far as I know right now...which isn't much...We will keep our old number at XJ or Compass...but thats all it will be is a number...right back to the bottom...I know there is a set number of slots for both Compass and Mesaba pilots per month, what that number is i dont know...however I do believe both XJ and Compass have seperate agreements as far as the flowthrough works...XJ offers a little bit more flowback protection...Mesaba has already had some people flow through to mainline premerger...but its been quite a while ( I think April) since the flow has started back up, anyone have any ideas?
