Just wondering if we can bypass recall and stay at Compass until we want to come back. Doesn't say anything in the LOA about that. Hopefully we are all just wasting our time even talking about this and the flow down will never be seen. It really does suck for everyone involved when that happens.
We had 4 NWA flowdowns at the top of our list when I started here. Three of them are still here, having bypassed recall as long as they could, which wasn't that long under the NWA contract. One of them I talked to was kinda relieved when NWA stopped the recalling/hiring just before he had to go back. Got the feeling he didn't really want to go back while his number held a junior DC9 line. If you can bypass recall at Delta for 10 years, I don't see anything in our contract/LOA that seems to indicate you have to go back up when they offer recall.
