The company says to the union it would only be temporarily and that then they would put them at mainline. The thought is that a better option would be available then(the C-series maybe) and for the time they could really take advantage of cost structure at Compass. The union is actually entertaining this idea. They feel that a solution can be negotiated and that these 100 seaters will by DAL's good graces come back over to mainline. Are we all naive enough to think that DALs execs will not find a way to never see a DAL seniority list pilot flying those? I cannot over emphasize the need to write every rep current and recently elected and to make sure they are telling the company NO!!! We all fly with guys who stay so far outta touch with this stuff because they think they are senior enough for it not to matter, but it will. Their quality of life will go down and make no mistake....Delta will furlough all the recent new hires if this happens. Lee Moak must hear your voice and it better be now or else I can guarantee that there will be alot of Delta Pilots without jobs very soon. Get to work guys, spread the word, and be heard!!! "

This isn't the first time we have heard 190s to CPZ until the Cseries arrives rumors. Frankly, I'm fine with it and I hope the MEC is to. It's good for the company and us.
And I mean that, having 190s or 195s here is a fantastic idea all the way around.
But that's only if they're put at CPZ after CPZ is folded into mainline. Otherwise this would be the most idiotic thing any union could ever do.
What bothers me tremendously is this rumor has been and is still out there.

Just got off the phone with multiple union folks including Lee Moak and there is no truth to 100 seaters at Compass

Go one step further.
Ask them if they are willing to give the company 255 76 seat jets instead of the 195.....
That may be what the company wants after all. It is just the idea of starting high and ending low.
Same answer, Nope. You want em, grow mainline like the PWA states, or put em here.

Rules of Engagement.
I am sure that will be part of the AE. They have publicly stated that one.
