Next time you are in SLC and on EXACTLY a 4 hour sit, go to the bathroom nearest the Skywest crew room and whisper “word302, word302, word302” in the mirror and he should appear.

Nah. I've just been spending countless hours in my parent's basement trying to get my meme game on par so that I feel adequate enough to post here. I'm not even close.

That’s OK. You’ve been accepted as an honorary member. Post away. I swear I’ll print it out and put it up on my refrigerator with one of those magnet thingies. OK, on the beer fridge out in the garage, but only because the wife has our kids schoolwork obliterating the kitchen fridge.

I’m starting to warm up to Word302.

On another note, probably best to not tell people to come here. Coming here as FO for a year, losing your job, and starting over somewhere else is *not* better than going some other place right off the bat. Not to mention OO (and others) pay a lot better and have job security, whereas compass has ‘meh’ pay and a 75% chance of closing shop in the next 2 years

Gotta admit, it’s time that TSH comes up to OO pay standards, now that they’ve Leap-frogged past us. As for the doom and gloom, no way of telling but I still think it’s cheaper just to extend the contract than to move it. Ultimately, Delta might actually be serious about pulling the flying back in-house with the A220 though, at least the longer leg flying. That puts everyone with Delta flying at some degree of risk, even Endeavor. Compass WAS a Delta wholly owned, remember.

But I’m gonna ride this horse until it bucks me off or I get a better offer. Doing the same thing in an A220 wouldn’t bother me a bit.

For the record, none of us have job security.

Very true.

And where's my meme?

Delta CEO was pretty clear in video he is done with compass and gojet. Said they are consolidating to 3 regionals, endeavor, republic and Skywest.

And when the 90 A220s Delta has on order get here I expect it will impact even that flying. But currently they have four (4) of those 90 delivered, and I don’t believe they are in revenue service yet.

There’s a lot of information that is given out in this industry that - even if it’s not false from the get-go - winds up changing completely over time. Didn’t a lot of you TSA guys get lured there by the promise of MRJs? Fifty firm aircraft and 50 options? Announced way back in 2010? How’s that working out for you guys?

I don’t think your crystal ball is any less cloudy than anybody else’s.

I was given a CJO in Dec and offered a class date of May 30th...I've been pestering for an earlier class date and finally heard back. Moved me up to March 14th, this mean they're having trouble filling classes I assume? I'm a west coast resident and willing to take a high risk/high reward situation with cpz.

Why would you assume that? Might be a full class, just that someone had to change due to any number of reasons.
