The Number of planes keeps going up... LOL. No way its 129..40-60 this year maybe (thats still a lot). Yes there seems to be RFP's Out there. But DL is scoped out. UA? AA? AS? Lots of shuffling around right now also.. AW going from AA to UA..

If you looked at EdwinR's post history, you'd see Compass was on their radar. Except Compass was not hiring at the time. In a market where all the other airlines are hiring, being the odd one out is a good way to pass up talent.
So you can see why they might be happy to be at SkyWest over Compass. SkyWest offered a class and employment.
If it was the other way around I'm sure they'd be defending Compass.

I must say talking to my friends who arrived at compass airlines late last ano I am very glad with my decision to do SKYWEST airlines. My friend was reserve for 3 weeks then went to a line and received a transfer to home. We have many good people and the rapid airplane deliverys will enhance the life of everyone. You can get hired at the beginning of wave at SKYWEST or the very end at compass airlines.

You can drink koolaid from any management, and believe that they are angels. At the end of the day they're running a business, some just happen to value people more than others. Southwest point in case.
My point was that guy wanted to come to Compass yet went elsewhere due to the hiring environment. Now is quite a different time from 2001 or 2008. Especially with a level playing field, everyone needs an ATP or R-ATP.
Most of us remember watching people get hired into a airliner with 250 hours and a wet commercial. Yet some operations had higher requirements.
So the question today for people going regional shopping is, what can you offer me? Sometimes it's just the fact that they can offer a class.
Imagine one of the applicants Compass has on file is offered a class somewhere else in a couple weeks, or a class at Compass in a few months... How many will wait months to start?

omg please shut this thread down. Between Veewan's hard-on for SkyWest and the other trolls this has gone on long enough. My airline is better than your airline conversations can only go on for so long. Facts get merged with opinion and speculation (sounds like CNN and Fox News right?) and the conversation goes no where. Done and Done.

Skywest is a good place to work.
Compass is a good place to work.
Skywest is good for some, and compass is good for others.
That's it's...everything else in this thread is crap.
