How are things at Compass?
Hey Compass pilots: How are things going over there, now that the first months are behind you and some of the bugs as well? I'm not really looking for hiring type info, but more like state-of-the-company info. Any start up issues with the 175's? NW guys treating you well?

I really don't have many complaints. There's been a few bugs. Many have been worked out and a few have not. Airplane seems reliable. I have not had any problems from NWA guys. I like CPS but then again I came from TSA.

NWA has better scope language than Delta. Hopefully some of it will end up in the new Delta CBA.

I would like to add that Im sure alot of 9 drivers are not happy at all to see us and Compass flying alot of their routes. However, 99% of NWA pilots that I have dealt with have been nothing short of professional with me and more than accomodating in getting me to work or home. I even had one tell me that he agrees that the 9's need to be parked and that we should make more at XJ and CZ to fly the 76 seaters. I wish the best for those guys post merger and that they get their much deserved pay increases and improvements to their working conditions.

Yea on a 8yr old contract. Don't pick a fight when PNCL was not even mentioned in any part of the initial thread or reply. On a professional level you are showing your Union feelings and knowledge base on the issue. Just leave it out of the thread.
You didn't see anyone come on here and drop the word "Flowthrough" or ask why compass was started, especially with the "no furlough" clause in the Delta/Northwest merger CBA and the 50+ -9's said to be parked. The mainline pilots will have seats regardless.
On a positive I think the paintjob and the plane look very nice!
