Most at Compass were just typed within the last year or so, now they might be replacing almost the entire 300 or so pilots with flow backs.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to just flow a few guys back. If the reduction was less than a couple hundred, it would almost be cheaper to keep paying them at DAL than to assume the training expense. Not to mention the training at Compass has been quite inefficient and it's been taking longer than planned to get guys on line.

I think the only way it's beneficial to flow guys back is if there is either a very large furlough or they plan on it being a very long and protracted furlough.

Please don't misunderstand me, I know that they HAVE to offer the Compass seats to the furloughed DAL/NWA guys. I'm just saying that I think that if there's a flow back, it's probably going to mean a pretty big furlough. I hope not.

Thoughts?
