I sat next to a Compass pilot commuting about 10 months ago and he's was going on and on about how delta was going to make them park with the rest of the RJ's in msp, kinda like he was above the rest of us. I know a few great guys over there but this guy was a piece of work. There are better $24,000 a year jobs out there. Trying for more than 2/10 this time, i though that was a bit low
Big regional jets for not a lot of money. This isn't a compass problem, its a Mesaba, Pinnacle, Republic, Shuttle, Mesa,
Skywest (isn't this where you are at?), ASA, Comair, and anyone else flying a big RJ problem.
As far as replacing DC9 flying, maybe. It can also be argued that Compass is directly responsible for Delta NOT furloughing so far.
