Sad times for sure. Just hoping everyone lands on their feet. I’ll miss this forum. Wondering how long until APC removes it...

They should just retire it.. Put us out of our misery lol

Anyone had any luck with getting training records sent to their house? Anyone ask?
Asked weeks before everything went down but I dont even know who to bug.

I tried emailing the gal who responded to my “received request” email at a @tshstl address too but it doesn’t look like it accepts outside emails of course. Either that or she doesn’t work there anymore.

It will be a really sad day when this page dissolves and all our history just floats away into the abyss, only to be found in Search. When it does we should create a ‘Compass Airlines’ thread in the Other page.

Once this all passes, we will start a “Compass: Where are they now?”

WTF is wrong with the world when GofnJet is the sole standing TSH airline. For as depressing as that purchase was back in (2011??) I never would've believed it, not for a cool million.

sadly,they don’t have much time left either. They are down to less than 40 flights a day. They have the same leadership team in place that let AX and CP die a painful death. The additional 550s are all but a wet dream at this point. I would imagine their letter from RL about how “heartbreaking” this is for him is coming in the next 3 weeks.

Bro, I hate to be Dougie Downer, but why does it surprise you at all?
There is more wrong with this world we live in than there is right with it.

The sooner you accept that fact, the easier it becomes to swallow it all.

GoJet and and SkyWest will merge. Will be called SkyJet. DL will buy us new MRJs and we will operate as a wholly owned for AA. Daily flights between Cleveland and Moscow. Single pilot. The Russians will buy us out and sell us back to DL and we will all have DL seniority numbers.

You heard it here first.

All United ever cared about was completion, not quality. Gojet had new desirable RJs, cheap costs, they had Rick leach on speed dial.

I don’t know if I would say their -700s were new...

The CRJ 550s? They arent new, they are reconfigured & repainted 700s that are leased from SkyWest. Just search the tail numbers. I didnt know until someone pointed it out and I asked around.

Not only that, some of them are old Comair CRJs which makes them some of the oldest 700s still operating.

Multiple sources saying that 50 seaters will likely not survive at the UAX level, and even OO stating they don’t expect 55 200’s to be renewed. Crazy how just 2 months ago they were pulling 200’s out of the desert.

I am just paraphrasing, but Chip said they are offering partners the opportunity to adjust contracts during this out of good will and the company are being flexible for them to do so.

You would have to imagine that for every "adjustment" made to a contract, the partner will have to give something up that SkyWest wants. UA wants out of the 3 year 200 deal? sure, but they have to give X years of flying on some other airplane type one of their other WO operators or partner are doing. Purely a guess of course, but SkyWest don't do somethin' for nuthin'!

Thats a very delicate tightrope SKW has to walk. You are a subcontractor, refuse to play ball and the ball can be downsized/taken away.

Funny because I've always noticed that but never said anything out of fear of sounding crazy. :o

Me too. I never said anything because it's not like the guy or gal I was flying with could do anything about it, though. :D

I checked the memory frequencies on the MCDU one time and it stated something like “Have you noticed the horn is spelled with a 0”. Mind was blown for the rest of the leg.

Followed by angry looks from rampers. Especially when it turns out you just had ramp off the whole time.

Do we know who Rick Rolled on those same frequencies? Awesome nonetheless.
