Hulas will do whatever makes him the most money. If UAL gives him a deal that he likes for more 175 flying on a longer term lease than the 145s he has now. He'll take it. Its all about the moolah.

Don't forget CP's low longevity. Why would he kill off the one thing that keeps them competitive? Add in TSA's senior pilots and that goes bye bye. After these flows I believe CP will be down to 4 years for highest longevity besides a couple flow bypass guys.

As long as CP pilots get the upgrade slots vacated by the flow attrition go ahead and merge

Agreed on this.

I fully expect our HQ to move when the lease is up. I don't expect a merged pilot list. A merger of two wholly owned companies isn't nearly as expensive as mergeing two completely independent companies.

If you knew how much it costs to run seperate certificates you would see why. The duplication is horrendous. You can fly the same airplanes for the same revenue and save 50% in cost on the support side.

One problem looming for TSA is the hole on the Seniority list from 2008-2012. Once the 2008 guys upgrade, there is no one on the list until 2012. There are rumors of street captains this winter once the hiring at all the majors ramps up.

I suspect this won't be an issue due to the lack of qualified guys to upgrade at TSA after the 2008 hires upgrade.

Heard the Compass SOC will be moving to the empty area on the second floor where the TWA cabin trainers used to be.

When TSA starts hiring street captains, I'll be walking in my resume. Maybe.

I heard it was shut down due to internal docs being leaked.
