One would think both Management teams would be in constant contact about the flows. I doubt Compass would want to waste their time hiring everyone for nothing. They did get a heads up that flows would happen by the end of the year, if that changed wouldn't they stop hiring?
It costs them the price of an airline ticket and a hotel room. The HR and pilot interviewers are getting paid regardless if they interview 0 or 40 in a day. They will have to spend that money eventually, so wether or not they spend the money on the plane ticket and hotel now as opposed to 6 months to a year from now is not really a big deal. As for being in constant contact, I doubt it, Delta will tell Compass what they want, when they want it. |

So are they running interviews right now? If they are hiring large amounts into a pool it might be a good sign. Of course if anyone knew anything it would be leaked in 2 seconds as we can't keep secrets to save our lives!
It sounded like they were having trouble finding folks with 1500hrs. Also the computer tests they give (Job Knowledge, COG, and Personality) had about 50% pass rate. The big issue with some potential people is that the company still doesn't pay for a hotel in initial training. |

Here are some notes from the MSP base visit, sorry about the abbreviated format:
Graham- Older A320s may be hitting max life around 2015. 767-300 could be gone by 2015. GE does not support the engine anymore. |
Heyas flyguy, great info, thanks for the update.

Great news, particularly since it's an SEC filing, which carries criminal sanctions if intentionally misleading.
Weren't quite a few on here stating that the new TA wouldn't generate new jobs. This latest SEC filing states that the new PWA was critical to accomplishing the refleeting that's creating a net plus of 66 aircraft for the mainline. Others were on here lambasting a T&G that stated that we would increase staffing by about 1000 with this PWA. Glad to see the growth. Appreciate the hard work so many of our fellow pilots put in knocking down the misinformation campaign during the TA ratification. |

Appreciate the hard work so many of our fellow pilots put in knocking down the misinformation campaign during the TA ratification. The concern was not that would be no growth, it was that it was not guaranteed with the addition of 70 more 76 seat jets and the ratio. Ala, not all 717's were guaranteed to be growth jets. *Also, what airline(s) has about 66 jets that could get our fleet total up very quickly? Not hinting, just pointing out that there are many ways to arrive at 796. It was an interesting filing I looked at after it was mentioned at the LEC 44 Meeting yesterday by the Strategic Planning Chairman. |
