Fact is, the CPZ guys are in a good position. Once the movement starts the flow UP will work. The near term is the big X factor but the movement will happen and those in position at CPZ will be able to take full advantage of it. Like everything else in this industry its a risk but the potential reward is there. More so than other regionals anyway. time will tell

Don't speak so soon. We'll see what happens to that X factor next month.
Losses drive more job cuts at Delta
Megan Kuhn, Washington DC (07Aug09, 23:32 GMT, 152 words)
More job cuts are forthcoming at loss-making Delta Air Lines, which reported a net loss of $257 million for the second quarter of 2009.
The recession, along with the H1N1 virus, has driven down the Atlanta-based operator's revenues by more than $3 billion during the first six months of this year.
"That equates to more than $40,000 in lost revenue per employee," Delta CEO Richard Anderson and Delta subsidiary Northwest Airlines CEO Ed Bastian say in a memo to company officers and directors. They add that they do not expect revenues to improve significantly this year.
So, Delta must eliminate more salaried positions beyond the management and administrative posts cut during the past 18 months, the CEOs say.
They note that previous frontline cuts occurred though voluntary programmes. "However, we must more aggressively manage general and administrative costs," they say.
In addition, Delta will trim its budget for vendors and professional services.

Also, in reply for the guy that said compass is in great position, etc... etc...
If compass is such a great position right now, why are people leaving the company and why is the company the ONLY one right now hiring people without any growth? Why would people leave such a great opportunity?

Ya know I hear all the time “what about the flowback”? What I don’t understand is what the difference is! Regional airlines are contract work for the most part. If Delta or, United, or whoever decides to cut your flying, you have to adjust staffing, then furloughs will be inevitable. If mainline furloughs and those furloughs flow down and I am furloughed due to that what is the difference?
