Okay, flame me, but I'll say it... Compass, flow through, small now, hired by former NWA pilots, etc., I would staple them and bring their airplanes in to ML even if it is at a rate lower than the DC9 just to have them (76 seats) here. Although I think we should still have a 50/hr base rate for newhires to start from.

Current Rates
DAL9A DAL9B Compass A / B
Year 1 133 52 Year 1 61 24
Year 2 134 72 Year 2 64 34
Year 3 135 84 Year 3 66 36
Year 4 136 86 Year 4 68 38
Year 5 137 88 Year 5 70 39

Fine Print: For now, we can get pay raises for it later. We should never compromise on pay and of course this could be another Delta Express, but I'm fine with that. Quick upgrades, mass expansion of 76 seaters on our side of the fence, etc.
