I even met with Compass folks at a Job Fair in January.

I would really like to fly at Compass. Thank You in advance!

As long as everything else is clean I would suggest making sure your application is completely filled out. I was recently at a meeting where a recruiter from another airline mentioned not updating your passport, medical or selecting that you have a valid ATP written is enough to hide your application.

I know that the flow with delta includes 315 of the 450 or so pilots, but does anyone know how what the seniority of the most junior delta flow through pilot is. Im just wondering after the flow through number stopped what are the date of hires.
Also does anyone have highlights of the new contract, I have looked back through this thread and only found a 1.25% pay increase and a change in health insurance.

303 are eligible...we were approximately a 420 pilot airline (42 airplane x 10 pilots a plane). We currently have 538 on the list. We have a lot of people who are not bidding or not bidding full months because they are still in training (upgrading, new hires, or the folks flowing in March).

I'm going to guess we are going to be a 450 to 460 pilot airline.

People who are not flow eligible are now upgrading...into LAX

As of the 1/1 list the last flow guy was # 303. Take out the 4 guys that aren't eligible and the few junior Captains who are leaving for Yonited and USair, and it is closer to 295 left with flow rights.

He left out a few.

Increased vacation credit (up from 3 to 3.25)
Attached day off concept (turns 6 days into 7 and 7 into 8)
Increased sick accrual
Increased training pay (3:30 to 4)
Numerous reserve improvements (bidding for RAP periods, all open time flying paid on top of guarantee, long call, ability to bypass a trip on your last day, few others I can't come up with off hand)
3 per diem steps topping out at $1.95
Bid for training


It wasn't whole sale changes, just small adjustments. Operating under an LOA that limited negotiations to 330 days total.

Exactly. FL410, keep in mind that most of these issues were decided by an arbitrator who was weighing company and ALPA proposals against 'industry standard' as defined in the arbitration process.

With 300 pilots out 500 leaving how can they maintain current staffing moving forward? Won't upgrades stop if they run short of FOs?

Only 25% if the list can "flow" in a rolling 12 months. That is limited further to 20 a month.
