Honsetly, I do not see what the problem is with being held back 90 days. What are the Compass pilots loosing? They are getting the best of both worlds.
They will already have their Delta senority number based on the day that they would have started class(I would imagine this would also allow them to begin building senority). They get to sit left seat at CP at the top of the senority list getting 15+ days/mon off, making more money and having a better QOL than if they were at Delta in training.
I don't see where the Pilots are being harmed and losing anything.
But I do agree with you that the princaple is wrong, it should be a smooth transition with no delay, and the hold back should only happen for unforeseen circumstances, not poor planning.
