9 months will be conducting in MSP for April bid? The spreadsheet on flica is all blank.

 

9 month is usually in your base. Its just a classroom day. Once you get the email about bidding for it, just post your bid in FLICA. The email will contain the schedule and dates you can choose from.

 

That's why I was wondering, it only shows schedule and dates (8 dates to choose from) in the spreadsheet, but training location column are all blank.

 

If you drop below min. day guarantee, do you still get min. pay (4h)?

 

Nope.

Filler...

 

There's quite a bit to discuss, particularly in light of the formerly active, and now apparently dormant, rumor that we would be getting a few airplanes from Republic. There is a letter from their CEO floating around that states their Chapter 11 reorg goals. #1 on the list is renegotiating agreements with their codeshare partners that "reflect true costs of our product". What are the chances of that? If their costs are significantly higher than ours, that goal won't succeed and then we're likely to pick up some of the fallout - as unpleasant as it is to think of picking up extra work on the backs of our colleagues.

There have been people here who have scoured SEC filings etc. to guess at some of that info. Does anyone have any new insights? Esp. into our costs versus RAH? Payscales are pretty similar - the 10% difference in new hire FO pay is immaterial, they're cheap Captains are about 6%. Any ideas on longevity, lifers, etc.?

 

Either this is trolling FaceBiter or we need a kid's table section for the Compass thread.

 

I think the only thing we will get out of their bankruptcy is some of their junior FOs who can afford to bail and come here. Besides that don't bet on any planes.

 

The E175 makes money. When they say renegotiate contracts they are talking bout the E145 and Dash 8. They don't make money. Unless you want E145 and Dash 8 planes, I wouldn't hold your breath. I don't see them losing any E175's. But anything is possible. It will be awhile to anything occurs. Chap. 11 is not a quick process.

 

Mod Note:

The Compass Saga continues in a new thread.
