But you're referring to possibilities as "facts", and then you label yourself as some lone crusader of truth amongst a sea of self motivated deceivers. You are just a pilot pawn like the rest of us in this airline chess game. You don't "know" facts about private meetings and deals taking place right now for future aircraft RFPs. You gotta wait for announcements like the rest.

To tell prospective new hires to wait for management to announce something that will hurt their careers is terrible advice. You should be advising prospective new hires of the reality of the regional situation so they can make an informed decision and not be shocked when it happens.
I don't need to wait for announcements to know they will happen. Just read between the lines and you can make a very good determination about what is happening.

I don't doubt the 50 seaters will get parked one day. I just am not all doom and gloom about it!
I also don't go out of my way to burst everyone else's bubble so I can feel better about myself!

If you guys want to talk about Skywest's 50 seaters, go to the Skywest thread. This is a Compass thread. Keep it on topic, please.

Healthcare starts 30 days from the first of the following month. I.E. I started mar. 19th. April I didn't have it, but may 1st health insurance kicked in. For a healthy single guy, insurance is pretty good and cheap. For a family I think it is very overpriced. Hope this helps.

The people from CPZ who are physically present in the early June DL newhire class would have been the 'March' bid flows.
Please correct me if I screwed that up. #mentalmath
