I understand that, and I didn’t state otherwise. But that makes sense when Delta says no later than the fall of next year if they can’t reach an agreement for an early termination of the CPA. I would imagine that we're talking about 18 months of profit being the selling point? Anything less than that and Hulas will probably just say, no thanks. I’ll just wait until the end. If Delta waits until the end, all it costs them is time. Either way, Delta gets the birds back

Food for thought:
Our Delta birds are not scope compliant.

It they have been grandfathered in

That can be changed.

They have been transferred once already to TSH Im sure they can bae transfered again.. or they pay for the service buliten to make them 86k or like OO pay the service bulletin for the 175SC’s to be 76 seat 175’s.

No, they were always on the compass certificate, nothing has ever changed with the Compass certificate except ownership.
If we were sold again, new ownership, nothing changes on the Compass certificate (or for us, except maybe a better HR/payroll department, better management and possibly more money... sign me up!) :cool:

First of all just because there is a termination date does not mean that it can’t be terminated early. All wind downs are negotiated between the two carriers. ExpressJets CRJs were supposed to be on property until 2020 as well, we all saw how well that worked out for them.

We have a little more protection with the increased MTOW. That will be a problem for Delta if they just transfer planes without the certificate.

From the Delta PWA:
“Exception two: Up to the 36 EMB-175s that were operated and/or ordered by Northwest prior to October 30, 2008 may continue to be operated with up to a maximum gross takeoff weight of 89,000 pounds.”

Doesn’t say anything about them being operated at Compass.

Don’t bring facts into this!!!
