I still think MW is pretending to be evil management this whole time, while secretly working to save us. MW will rise from the ashes in 2020 like our own personal Jesus, mark my words!!!

That's a lot of yoke clips that will need to be modified if that's true!

In the meantime, I'll have what he's having!

As far as Im concerned, nothing changes really, im getting my time and getting out, and pillaging some snack baskets along the way

You really think they'd announce a draw down?

My bet is IF they have anything planned like that, they'll say, "No no, operations will continue." But behind closed doors they'd wind things down.

I don't think they would announce it in the same way they announce a Christmas party. But they wont be able to get much by us when block hours start waining and planes start leaving and reserves stop being used etc. They will have to say something about it. But yeah, as always, tight lips until they have to. As others have said, if there is compass airlines amount of west coast flying to do, they can't just transfer that over in one summer. We still have 700 trained pilots etc.. I don't think we'll just be on the street one day drinking out of a paper bag circa 2008... well, maybe I will. But you guys will be fine.

I hope, as many of you have said, that mainline takes back flying, regionals consolidate, and this profession continues to recover.

This sounds like something that was more or less said at Expressjet 12 months ago, yet they’re still able to staff the planes until the end so far. Lots of talk and no action when the rubber hits the road

Compass isn’t XJT. We don’t have lifers who don’t want to start over or, god forbid, take a pay cut at an LCC/ACMI temporarily.
