Me thinks DALPA will have a small problem with a DCI carrier having an Airbus on their certificate. Even if there is nothing in the contract that specifically bars them from having one, there is no way in hell RAH will EVER operate an Airbus for DL.

Yawn... this rumor has been around since NWA was getting 175s and Compass would be flying them. The RAH boys and girls have been chomping at the bit. It's hilarious actually... I love getting into a hotel van with those guys and have them fill my ears with Compass rumors.
If DL likes whipsaw and BB doesn't want it... who do you think is going to win that fight? Who's in charge here... it certainly isn't BB. |
God.....could u imagine flying an A320 for 40 bucks an hour as an FO
Personally...i think that Regional Airline of the Year Sticker is the Kiss of Death Look whats happening to Mesa, Expressjet and Horizon....all recipients of said award |
Worst.Rumor.EVAR.

It is very unlikely that DAL/NWA will sell Compass to us, Delta has mastered the art of whipsaw, and would more likely want two E175 carriers so they can force us both to keep our costs down. That being said, DAL has no love for wholly owned carriers, regardless of what they are saying now about preffering them, just look what they have done to Comair.
I'd say Delta loves Comair, they can do whatever they please to us! That's a parent company's DREAM! Click here for fun! Federal Aviation Administration - Airline Certificate Information - Detail View |
all i can say is i hope the mainline boys start taking their flying back. what happened to the flight instructor's in the 90's is happening to the regionals in the 00's and will happen to the majors in the 10's unless the mainline guys step it up and put a stop to it. i consider myself to be neutral because i was in the regionals, but its my opinion that if mesa, rah, etc., get an opportunity to move into any larger scale equipment than what they already have this wont be a career anymore. it will be a live with mommy and daddy till you die gig.

I'd fly an airbus for free...just the thought of flying such a big plane is so cool.

Please tell me you're joking. You really wrote this with a serious face? If RAH wants to buy compass, its only to get their hands on the 175s compass operates. I really enjoyed the joke about them being the "cheapest pilots around" and the "10 days off a month!". RAH is a regional operator, just like every other 50 to 70 seat operator out there. The pay is favorable to many of those other companies. Do not group mesa and RAH together in regards to contract and pay, as they are not comparable. RAH isn't taking over the world, quit being so paranoid. The world isn't ending today. Go grab a drink and chill out. |
