P.S. I used to be a Pinnacle FO who left because I could not afford to feed my family on 2nd and even 3rd year pay. I walked in several picketing events, but I fear that management will take forever until something is signed and I don't think you will get released for a possible strike.

Last I heard they are shooting for 360 pilots. Last class seniority numbers were around 230 I think. So they need at least another 130 pilots by the end of this year.
ATP mins are still the mins, though I have heard of people getting hired under that.

Actually ATP mins for hiring are in the ALPA contract. The company hired a few under ATP mins, the union protested, and the company agreed to stick to the mins. Might make it hard to find enough pilots...maybe we could parlay the shortage into a LOA bringing up 1st yr pay or otherwise improving the contract

A few Compass QOL questions... do you guys stay at the same hotels as NWA? Downtown locations?
What are the lines like? Trips? 4 days, day trips? What are the average days off for lineholders so far?
When do you expect online trip trading to start?
What % of captains do you think will stick around, and how many hope to flow up?
How about mx? Contracted or in house?
Thanks guys.

The hotels are different from what I've seen. Most of the hotels we stay at are nice but are isolated from civilization.

Depends on the base, seat and staffing. Some months there is a good mix, other months not so much. Day trips go up to 19 days off. Reserve/Build up 11 days off. 13-14 days off is an average I'd say.
When do you expect online trip trading to start?
PBS is in testing phase now. Operational probably in a few months. Flica is in the works but it's not yet official. Hoping for Flica by EOY 2008.
What % of captains do you think will stick around, and how many hope to flow up?
Since nobody is hiring, I'd say everyone will be sticking around except for you typical attrition.
How about mx? Contracted or in house?
We have both. Most of the contracted MX guys are solely dedicated to CPS. I think we use the Embraer BNA for anything heavy.
Thanks guys.

I think CPS is a good place to be so long as the DAL/NW merger works out well.
