1. We have very high time pilots on average for a regional. Remember when you require ATP mins and 1000 multi to hire a new fo that they will likely be able to get another job when things turn around. Also we have a VERY large # of refugees from other airlines with 5- 10k hours or more. Many of these are in the right seat too and looking for the next Real job and dont need an upgrade to move on.

2. When Delta does start to hire (one Day) we will already have our max # of flow's ready and eligible. So if they even hire 1 class of 20 pilots it would wipe out 11% of our CA's immediately and if they hire 2 classes well then you looking at almost 25% of our CA's gone...probably at the same time other companies will be hiring our FO's

So if they are smart they better keep their finger on the trigger because Compass is in a unique situation when it comes to staffing....for what its worth
