As much as I would love a bottom of the 9th miracle, I fear the damage has been done. There are too many people who have left/will leave in the next 2-3 months. Right around the 2 biggest months during our winter season. I see it and I think DL sees it (see above). Even if Compass got more flying, I'm not so sure we would be able to staff it. Every CA I know has either an interview or CJO. I would say about half of the FOs I fly with either have an interview or are just gonna stick it out because they are junior and don't have much too lose.

The only thing I can think of is that they do have 20 planes coming but those probably wouldn't be on property until Summer/Fall 2020. So maybe they are betting on enough people to leave until that happens hence why they are delaying the announcement as then a lot of people might stick around.

Just pure speculation. I sincerely hope this place keeps running. I just lose hope as each day passes and especially after the tone of the last union email.

They would be required by SEC rules to stay silent until the deal is done. I would like to think that the new opportunity is a good one but the timing of pilot and aircraft attrition could make it a very rocky transition.

That makes sense, I imagine that commute will be easier for him. Does anyone know if we have a way to see...or someone to ask how far down the list they've made it as far as this "F9 Flow" is concerned?
