Any word from the union on the preferential hiring with the TSA side? It came up on the Trans States post but no info there. Seems two Alpa groups working under one Holdings company should have had something by now since there are many furloughed.

Just a thought guys. I know a lot have the # for the trans states hiring dept. My suggestion would be to give them a call and see if they'll refer you over to compass.

Just saw the changed info on Compass's profile page... very interesting Flow Down information:

**Flow Up

Flow up to Delta will be offered to all Compass pilots through a date of hire of 08/19/2010 (409 pilots); No Compass pilots hired later will flow up.
Delta will offer employment to an eligible Compass pilot before any other pilot candidate for hire in seniority order. To be eligible, a Compass pilot must: (1) be a Captain; and (2) have at least 30 months on payroll.
Unless waived by Delta & Compass, the max number of Compass pilots flowing up to Delta will be the lesser of: (1) 25% of total Compass pilots in any rolling 12-months, or (2) 20 per month.
A Compass pilot who fails initial training at Delta may return to Compass at his previous seniority and longevity.

**Flow Down

Even after the flow up has ended, a furloughed Delta pilot will have the right to flow down to a pilot position at Compass, and will be senior to all Compass pilots with one exception: No more than 10% of the positions at Compass are “protected rights” for pilots who do not wish to flow up. To be a protected rights Compass pilot, the actual offer to flow up must be permanently forfeit. Only protected rights pilots cannot be bumped and will be senior to all furloughed Delta pilots. The remaining 90% of the positions at Compass are reserved for furloughed Delta pilots.

Thats a lot of risk to take on for anyone getting hired at CPZ after 8/19, with the only reward being a 'quick upgrade'.

If some major geo-politcal event occurs, and DAL furloughs 2000...

....A lot of other pilots will be hurting as well. (Not just Compass)

Edit: But that is a pretty crappy deal.

Comair, ASA, Mesaba, Expressjet and many, many other regionals have endured furloughs. The lightning fast upgrades for a Compass new hire more than make up for the risk of furlough that almost every regional pilot faces, including those with no chance to upgrade for far, far longer than Compass. JMHO.
