Default Not performance

It's weird that so many folks keep posting about performance. Guess what! Even with our mx delays and old aircraft our on time performance is still better than skywest.... And endeavor. So this is simply like the troll said, TSH wouldn't sell.

I wouldn’t agree with performance... your looking at OO overall coast to coast numbers. If you look at there West coast DL numbers it looks different. Not to me mention the daily DEN and STL flight out of SLC that OO has been covering for Compass... but ultimately it was a discussion Delta made about the future of what they envision for there regional feed...

I think cost will prevail in the end and we're cheaper than the other guys. The Mesa model! But, who knows. If we go byebye for DL, it won't be the crews fault. It will be on MX and TSH, unfortunately.



If the jets don't end up in the desert, they will have the same issues for the new owner, however they may be willing to pour some dollars into refurbishment and preventative MX...
Aaaaand you were wrong. DL wants off of the crazy compass ride.

Don't worry RL says we have something exciting up ahead!

Remember to taxi Single Engine and to turn on the APU 5 mins before push when flying Delta.

You can’t look at performance on the west coast and compare it to performance on the east coast. They aren’t the same in any way shape or form no matter how much you want to twist it. Plus add in that Delta often cancels/delays endeavor flights to put heavy metal in those slots during weather events.

Also fly at .60M to save fuel and pad those logbooks.

Won’t miss them telling us to run flights empty 20 hours late just to save their “completion” factor and earn their bonuses. They set us up to fail by having almost 25 departures out of SLC with no crew or mx resources there. Planes wouldn’t touch a mx base for over 5 days sometimes unlike the AA network where planes see a mx base almost every day. Good riddance

My thoughts go out to my Compass homies. Pouring one out tonight for y'all. In the meantime, have a meme or two!
