The only thing that was sold was Compass and Mesaba.
There has been no, zip, zero, nada discussion of trading scope for pay.
I firmly believe that a "south guy" was baiting you into spilling your half full glass. I do not know to what end.
I heard a rumor today. Reasonably intelligent pilots were getting spun up about things that haven't happened and aren't contemplated to happen. They're worried about scope sales when the company is hiring to staff a growing mainline operation. I can't possibly believe that could be true, especially since we've been through the Bucking Bar/Ad Lib and Slowplay show before (twice).
Oh, and Mesaba is still scheduled to furlough this fall as their Saab's get parked...
To all...make your input to your elected reps if you want to seek to maintain or cancel a flow with Compass and/or Mesaba. They will be the ones that direct what happens. The sky is not falling.
