RAH wants to buy Compass

You wish you flew the "9". You may indeed fly the -900. You XJ guys walking through the hubs with your epaulets upside down and telling everyone you fly the -9 is simply the last visible symptom of SJS. They are awesome jets but it's called a 900, not the -9 unless you are flying a DC-9.

Jesus... can't you all see the guy is flamebait? His posts on all the threads he's on are antagonistic.
Higney - relax man you're still at it with the "9" stuff. You PCL boys have blown it WAY out of proportion and context. Give it up already.

i hear through word of mouth that rah is interested in buying compass. from what i hear compass has an airbus certificate which is the reason rah wants to buy them. all i can say is this....if rah gets their hands on compass EVERYONE dreaming of that glamorous job at a major can kiss that dream away! this is quite possibly the turning point of this whole industry. you think its bad now? it is going to get a lot worse if this happens. airlines will slowly become nothing more than ticket sellers and rah (which is pretty much just a pilot contract service anyway) will staff those airplanes with some of the cheapest pilots around. bye bye airline pilot dream job. hello 60k/year airbus captain with 10 days off a month!

Eh, FWIW, Compass' certificate is NOT IndyAir's certificate, at least from what I was told in training (at CPS). NWA did indeed buy the ACA/Indy certificate with the intention of saving time by just throwing the E170s on the existing cert, use ACA's manuals, etc. The FAA didn't buy it: they made Compass start from scratch and go through the same cerification process all startups have to go through. Mind you, they still recycled a lot of ACA stuff (including our worthless chief pilot) but the certificate is new. Sorry RAH, no Airbii for you!
