Default Compass TSA Gojet.... Bueller?

Is there anyone out there?

3 separate certificates working for one management. Has this even happened before? While the rest of the industry is trying to merge or consolidate pilots, I believe the race to the bottom for these regionals started about a month go. Hard to believe there's no talk at least between two ALPA carriers. Is ALPAs plan seriously going to be to keep 3 separate carriers flying or is something being done quietly in the background? It was a scandal when Gojet happened but now its seems like standard practice. No? Anything?

There are other (time critical) issues that need to be settled before seniority integration can be discussed.

Comair and ASA operated the same equipment for Delta for about six years without SLI. It's been done before.

Trans States Holdings already won a single carrier petition lawsuit in regards to TSA and GoJets if im not mistaken(Can any TSA guys confirm??). There really is nothing that can be done to force a merger, especially with that ruling already in place.

Similar thing happened in the Pinnacle/Colgan deal. Arbitrator first ruled in ALPA's favor, then some how, changes his mind and rules in the company's favor. Bet they sent him some $$$.

Hi!

Republic is 6 certificates (Chatauqua, Republic, ShuttleAmerica, Midwest, Frontier, Lynx) flying for one company. They are shutting down Lynx, combining Midwest/Frontier flying into Frontier brand name for their own flying, and keeping the others to fly feed.

Pinnacle/Colgan/Mesaba are now 3 certs flying for one mgmt team.

ASA/Skywest/ExpressJet is now 3 certs flying for one mgmt team, and they are trying to buy Comair.

TSA is not long for this world. HK will take care of TSA Old Yeller style. Then he's back to two.
