Sadly I think this was the opportunity [coronavirus]
I don’t think they ever had anything for us.
someome from Skywest posted April 6th we would close, before it was announced/memo. I don’t think TSH had a contingency plan for us and that they were counting on us closing for awhile now

Just for context... I was getting told to pack my bags and go home when the Management told us “TSA is done on the April 1st, Compass is done on the 6th” before I shot my hand up and asked where that came from. We had a standoff of silence as he was surprised I couldn’t offer more info.
To be honest I don’t know how to respond
One, I was shocked to have complete open communication from leadership.
Two, he was shocked I wouldn’t expect it.
And C, I’m sure he was given an update from Delta as all the info was passed to regionals, but who knows.
But you know CP won’t disclose. They’re sure to say it could harm the other end of the contract or some trash like that, imho.

It's easy to criticize those of us who stayed, but suppose you left last fall or this spring? You would be sitting very junior and rightfully very worried. None of us saw corona coming and what it would do to the whole industry. We all figured if we stayed at compass and got furloughed, we'd all have a place to go. Well now there's no place to go, and one would only be marginally better off being junior at a major.. So what's your point? We got played? Ok, whatever you say dude.
Staying was a calculated risk based on what we all knew before corona. I think furloughs will hit many more people. Pretty lame to come on our boards and imply we were dumb for staying. I had reasons to stay and had back up plans in place.. Welp.. None of those assumptions apply now. If I had gone to the first place that called, I doubt I would have been better off. Many of those who left compass right away are all sitting pretty nervous right now. I hope they all make it through without a furlough.
Right now it's all about celebrating what a tight knit, awesome pilot group we had, all the memories we made together, and what it means to have been privileged enough to be part of a special fraternity of pilots, flight attendants, and mechanics who were here from 2014-2020.

here’s what I’ll miss, PHX BASED crews and all the jokes and crews who felt like family.
the pizza in San jhose. Crew bonding at the drurry in SAT.... that baked potato bar 10/10
Good luck everyone
