Exactly, if you don't want to go somewhere, don't. For those that want to make the best of a bad situation and feel like it is time to jump from the CPZ ship, OO has the industry experience program that allows 121 pilots to get pay longevity. Doesn't mean anything for people with less than a year of 121 at their carrier, but if they have more, it is nice to be able to come on a year 3,4,5,6, etc. scale instead of having to start over at year 1.

That’s true regarding OO pay. Only down side for the ship jumpers is with the likely huge influx of base transfers to west coast from current guys and gals here who’ve been waiting to move West, new hires will likely be sent to reserve and out to ORD/LGA (if LGA remains open) or more likely MSP/DTW on the CRJ. West coast, even with the new flying, is historically not the easiest to get.

Except OO has been hiring a ton of Midwest guys. Compass took all the west coast guys. Yes there will be some. But west coast and a short course will be easy to get. (Short course online in a few weeks vs months...) think about inflight. Will they want to jump ship. Or commute across the country for rumors of more flying???

Very sorry to hear this for the compass guys and gals, hopefully Delta does the right thing and interviews your pilots and staff for mainline positions. I commute with compass and have nothing but high regards for the group.

Can anyone share what the current percentage of flying compass does with DAL/AA? Can AA absorb the loss of the DL flying?

36 AC for DL / 20 AC for AA

Here's hoping the invitation from OO extends to the FA's also.

I am interested to see what UA will bring to the table for Compass. Again only rumours but I have heard it will be announced within the next 10 days and end up being about the same size as the Delta loss (approx. 20-25 175's)

I'm curious as well, but let's not pretend 20-25 aircraft is the same as 36 DL aircraft. 11-16 airframes lost would still represent a painful loss to the pilot group (though of course be lightyears better than losing all 36).

I’ve listened to the Mesa Investor call and they mention that United has told them they will be renewing the E175 contract. But they still have no discussion on there CRJ700’s. Now UA telling and doing is a different thing. But maybe this cargo experiment has made UA mad along with there 95% completion factor..

I think it’s more towards the 25 number.
