There were 130-135 recalls who said they were returning. The initial plan called for 50 recalls each in Nov and Dec, with the remaining being in a Jan class and using new hires (flows / and possibly off the street) to round out the Jan number to 50. And we all hope that they max out the Compass flows this year and next and the year after that and the hiring doesn't stop!
Just we at Compass are hoping for no backfills due to the loss in seniority it provides us, just as the off the street guys are hoping for backfills for a gain in seniority. Different sides of the aisle, but with a common goal at the end of the day. We will know soon enough which side gets their wish!

Regardless, thank you for sharing the info.

It means Compass guys / gals get their seniority number and get to bid an aircraft with the class date that they were supposed to be in. But Compass can then hold us at Compass for up to 90 days for "operational necessity." One would have thought that an almost 7 month lead time would have been more than enough time to train the replacements.
Delta can then choose whether or not to backfill those 20 spots of the Compass pilots who are being held back. With a 90 day hold back, potentially 60 more off the street / SSP hires could get class dates Jan - Mar. The rumor I'm hearing is the Jan 13 class will not be backfilled. Feb, who knows, and Mar there may or may not be spots depending on how long the hold back is.
