Minimums for upgrade are 2500 TT + 1000 MEL or 2000 TT + 1500 MEL. I think almost all of the FOs that have the seniority to upgrade this year have the required time. Among the FOs in the 200-250 range you might see more that won't have the time to upgrade, depending on how fast their upgrade comes (dependent on attrition, growth).

Does anything have to happen at mainline in order for Compass to exercise addition aircraft options in excess to the original 36?

from what i understand, there are only 18 additional net aircraft that can be ordered and delivered to the regionals that fly feed for NWA. In order for any regional to get planes beyond that then Mainline has to get a Net increase in aircraft. Net meaning additional aircraft on top of the mainline floor that was set at the beginning of last month. Clear as mud?

With the Delta merger expect the whole NWA scope clause to be dumped in the trash for what ever Delta has.

I can only say go elsewhere!!! You are way too qualified to put up with this stuff. Claim to be a new and better airline than the competition....NOPE!!!!..Same #$%^ different name on the side of the airplane!

Meh. $16k/mo as A320 CA or $1600/mo as E175 FO. I'd pack my bags. US aviation has become an utter joke.

I am interested in the MSP Chief Pilot position. Does anyone have any idea if the position has been filled?

Thanks.

You have no idea how torn up I am about it.... Wife is a major factor as you can imagine.

EV120, I heard from our former CP at SX that it's still open.
