I’m a negative guy, and this thread just got a little too negative for me, so I’ll share some info.

I have some inside info from MSP and some other places. I cannot/will not share specifics, but if anyone is on the fence about leaving... wait 2 more weeks. Like they said on the employee call... in this business, it’s best to keep the company’s cards close to the chest. Something great is coming and no one wants to let the cat out of the bag and mess it up (if messing it up is still possible at this calendar date). The company would have preferred to keep it more of a secret but the DL announcement forced their hand to prevent panic.

There is more evidence to support this but it’s not my place to share it.

Good news is coming soon. Some posts in this thread seem to be on to something;).

But like I said, keep our cards close guys

Confirmed week's account has been hacked by MW!

Hey now,

The frontier flow still sucks. Even worse than our contract:rolleyes:

Hahaha... I was going to ask, something great like the Frontier flow, which hasn't flowed a single person? What a joke that flow is.

Don’t even get me started, I could write a trilogy

If you could be so kind as to explain to me why they cant release the information on our future. Among all of the conflicting info out there right now, there's one tiny bit that suggests the deal is done and its TSH not wanting to release the news for whatever reason. If this deal was so great and is going to save compass as we know it, then why not release the info and stop the hemorrhaging like Billy Mays on a FlexSeal commercial:D. I feel like we are being treated like a bunch of children, and maybe its because I myself am a child and I just dont understand the process.

Can you at least say who you’re speaking to? Like is it worth a low time captain waiting rather than taking a LCC? Or is it more meant for new hires that are looking for a lateral move?

I mean, unless you have to decide on actually putting in your resignation in the next two weeks does it really matter?

Get your apps out there and start working on all the little steps to go to the next place, whether that's an LCC, OO, 9E, G7 or whatever. If whatever comes out looks good, you can always pull down your app or delay/cancel an interview or even a class date if you choose.

Honestly, even if you have an interview I'd do it regardless. Never hurts to have options or at least live interview practice.

Either Compass and some other company are being played against each other and the issue is not entirely decided or Compass management is keeping the drama going
to distract us from the fact that the two year extension to the pilot contract is almost up.

Case one would have whatever major is involved letting Compass and whoever currently has the flying (Mesa would be my guess since they also have contracts expiring) undercut one another to the maximum extent possible and eventually go with the deal most advantageous to that major.

Case two would have Compass keep up the drama to the point where the pilot group will happily sign an extension of the current terms just to keep our jobs, not noticing in the prices that we are now lagging behind several other pilot groups.

Now I’m not psychic. I suppose it’s possible for some third option, like we split in two and those whose flying is being phased out leave Compass to become startup cadre for Moxy, but I doubt it.

In the meantime, getting apps out is still good practice. And who knows, you might get lucky and get a nibble from someplace you really would like to spend your life. And the signup bonuses - especially if you are DEC or Near-DEC eligible, are getting mighty tempting. And class dates for those can be chosen conveniently far out that you can always cancel out if TSH actually does strike gold somehow.

Two can play this whipsaw game. :p

Just remember, everyone is only asking for a couple more weeks of patience... how many YEARS has it taken us to get this far? With potentially decades of flying left ahead for us?

A couple weeks isn't asking much in the long game. Eyes on the prize, folks!
