This jives with what I have heard from people in the recruiting department. More emphasis on a solid interview. Anyone who prepares for a pulse and fog check will be shown the door.

Randomly. Usually out of DTW or MSP. We did those flights late spring and early summer. Now it's mostly mainline and 1 SkyWest 900 from Msp.

Still a ton of training out of STL though. Continuous initial/upgrade training has put most recurrent stuff in STL this month. I've also seen new hires in STL.

Well, looks like Delta is so upset with Compass' LAX performance (according to the Skywest thread...) that they're adding a new LAS to SJC route on 30 December.

RAH owns their planes. They are not Delta's to give away. Who keeps telling people otherwise?

I assumed it was meant to be funny.

He was joking, but it doesn't really matter if RAH owns the planes or not. If they can't staff their airline, they will lose payments from their mainline partners and won't be able to pay their payments on the planes. Look up what happened to Mesa in 2009.

When it comes to owning airplanes, you are responsible for their payments. When you don't sell the tickets, you are dependent on your mainline partners paying you, so you can pay the lessor. If you fail to staff your airline to meet appropriate CPA requirements, your mainline partners can withhold payments, forcing you to declare bankruptcy or allowing them to hand the airplanes over to someone else.
