hes from delta and was refering to thier training footprint

my bad..:o
should have read the whole thing ..

Sorry guys, but I still have heartburn about the whole CompAss thing anyways. Your airline, and to a large extent, the pilots themselves, are the reason a 13 year NWA/DAL pilot cannot hold a Captain spot. You effectivley usurped seniority so if you have to wait another 3 month to flow up, BFD

Compass pilots are not the reason a 13 year NWA/DAL pilot cannot hold a CA spot. You can't blame them for taking a job there, especially since a lot of them have been furloughed by other companies.

anyone have any insight into the compass interviews being held next week?

will it be similar to old delta gouges? what is the tech test like?

thanks!

Your right. It was not the 68% vote of Mainline NWA Pilots who allowed Newco to exsist. Those 36 airplanes if they were on property would allow all 13 year NWA/DAL pilots to be Captain. I am sorry CPZ pilot took your job.

How about the mainline pilot who voted Yes to help themselves only to eliminate the jobs that Captains at Compass should have at the bottom on the list?

I have heartburn with the whole thing with NWA pilots who created a regional buy voting YES to forming NEWCO. You did this to yourself. Stop trying to blame others for uneducated decisions you and your cronies made. And the splitting Compass from your MEC only further divides pilot groups. Get a clue.

Compass Pilots,

Before you post please consider the ramifications your words may have for flow-ups at Delta. There is no reason to engage someone looking to start a fight on Flightinfo. You will not change his mind but you may inadvertently influence someone who hasn't formed an opinion of Compass.

Oberon is right. This guy or gal is so not worth the time. I doubt he or she is even a DAL pilot. Just another troll that wishes to get a rise.

On another note after talking with some other guys today I have seen where this holdback could cause more of us not to make the cutoff. So in light of this maybe we should send some emails to the union to see if anything can be worked out. It was said today by EM that there would be no flowing out of seniority order per the contract. This sentence was meant to stop the company from picking and choosing who was going NOT stop every CA at Compass because they want to hold back a few checkairmen.
I can understand them wanting to hold a few checkairmen briefly to train the next checkairmen. However the other CA's need to go. This will ensure that we have 20 pilots per month of hiring taking place.
If this doesn't occur then those 2 classes of 30 pilots will be all from the street. (Assuming Mesaba holds some guys too) Initially this might seem ok but this will mean

2 classes of 30 from street + 29 from Compass/Mesaba (only given #'s) =89

This will mean in 3 months time they would hit 267 (not including the callbacks)

Looking at it like this we would be lucky to see 60 ppl flow more likely 40. This is a real possiblity that we need to try and prevent.
