I sounded disappointed because I am, but not how your thinking. One of the huge(and never mentioned) benefits of the flow through is that the compass pilot group is very aligned with the delta pilot group on scope issues.

If this means the 6 DC-9's arent staying(speculation) it means a longer time for me to flow. The planes going to compass or flow, does the same thing for me in terms of movement on the compass list, but the flow means more upward movement for the group as a whole. Guys leaving the regionals for better jobs at delta.

Compass pilots dont want scope relief anymore than a delta pilot does.


However if it cannot be prevented and these planes are going to be awarded, I prefer they go to an ALPA carrier NOT directly competing with my future employer.
