Most likely Compass is getting bought by RAH. Handwriting is on the wall. Gojet started losing planes to Endeavor two weeks ago, and a buddy at RAH told me last week Bedford is cutting budgets back in May and June because the company needs $10 million for something big this summer. Also staffing up the training department as well.

Probably will all go down in June or July. Compass to RAH, Gojets and TSA get controlled by UAL either through a restructure of ownership or a buyout by ManaAir or Commutair. Gojet Delta flying all ends up at Endeavor.

Oh good. We haven’t had a good buyout rumor in months, and RAH always was a favorite. Of course they’ve got a different basing model and a different union, so even if it does happen things will probably remain status quo for a year or two while the details are worked out on the SLI, the base and seat lock, the snack basket menu, and everything else. The raise would be nice though. :D

Of course, as often as these rumored deals have fallen through in the past, I wouldn't get too excited just yet.

Let's make this more fun. Delta's share of Republic to TSH for the LGA gates. United's share goes next for, I dunno, Commutair? TSH becomes the largest stakeholder in RAH.

The movement of the Gojet planes tell you this is happening. That and the video of the Delta CEO from November is pretty strong proof that this deal has been done for a while. The only problem was TSA because Hulas has said many times he won't let Compass or Gojet go without a deal in place for TSA as well. Everybody thought this was done in August until United couldn't come up with the scope concessions to allow replacement of the 145s with 170s so Bedford balked. Deal was probably finalized when Gojet made the 550 announcement. If TSA comes back with a proposed TA in the next negotiation session in May you will know the deal is on for sure. Next few months should be interesting.

Does Hulas just talk to everyone about his game plan and how he's feeling or what

The RAH deal wasn't a rumor. It was about to happen until UA somehow put their foot down.

What I heard was UAL couldn't give scope concessions to replace the TSA 145s with 170s so it fell apart. However it is not a coincidence that Mana Air was created by UAL at the same time and is purchasing regionals. Both TSA and Gojet will probably end up owned by Mana Air or controlled by UAL. Most likely a Mana Air purchase once our contract is finished and Blowjet gets a 50 seat payrate.

AA flying going away also

FlyKat THINKS he is in the know on all sorts of things that never pan out.

That's been said since before the AA birds came to Compass property, and they haven't left yet. Not saying that they won't, but it's a bit of "the boy who cried wolf" at this point for that argument.
