I’d be cautious about going to a regional that only flies 10% of the DC feed, be it GoJet or Compass. It’s very risky as Delta will just transfer the planes, not the pilots. Just like they did at ASA.

Most of the Legacy ASA guys are ending up at DL, probably a win win for Compass people anyways...

Compass has all of that already in place. I'm sure if we merged people would blast out of here. A lot even, but they'd not even come close to having to hire and train a whole new Cadre of crews.

So yes it takes time, but if they have started now, maybe it is designed to be ready for 2020.
