With the shut down of Compass, our PWA requires either a replacement flow-down carrier or a cap reduction of 35 76-seaters.

The company was supposed to have the new flow-down in place before Compass shut down, so I guess we just clawed back a bit of scope.

Aside from Compass employees losing their jobs, this is great news for the pilot group and the industry as a whole.

Flow-down is only useful for a short period and only mitigates the pain of furloughs, but Scope PREVENTS furloughs in addition to it's daily benefits (QOL, schedule flexibility, etc).

​​​​​​ Well done sir, very classy statement. I'm delighted to see how gleeful you are at the news that many pilots, FAs, dispatchers, and other fellow Americans have lost their jobs. Hopefully karma will come and bite you in the $$$ when your airline furloughs.

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. I absolutely feel for your loss. This is a dark time for an amazing employee group. The silver lining is the tightening of scope, which, in the long term, benefits the pilot profession as a whole.

As a former regional guy, I totally understand the pain of working under incompetent ownership. Some guys on here complain about EB, but he's a saint compared to the revolving door of CEOs I experienced. I absolutely feel for the employees. When I was a commuter, the Compass crews were the funniest and most easy going crews I ever met. You could tell they really enjoyed their jobs and took pride in it. It's a shame that they were sold to TSH and then ran into the ground.

Either way you try and spin it you’re tone deaf to the situation. As others have said, there’s enough 900’s park to comply with your scope clause.

It's not about today or this year even. I know it feels worthless and hollow right now, but it's a benefit to the profession in the long term.

If you want to discuss it, here's the thread:

As much as it sucks to be unemployed, I'm happy it means one less regional owned by HK. Wasn't offended by Lumber Jacks comments either. Was it the wrong time? Idk, I just make memes.
