It appears the majors are legally allowed to use laws to discriminate against regionals when a major buys a regional. Due to the McCaskill Bond amendment your mainline job will be protected but any major can buy a regional and throw out all the pilots if they wish. That has happened already. It may be legal but why is that not discriminatory in nature? Not bitter, just discrimination in any from is still discrimination legal or not. Good luck to you sir and the those getting hired congrats as well.

As tragic as that is, when the alternative is a potential bite at the "greater than a staple" apple, that becomes the only possible outcome.

Reading in the CP forum, looks like the next 20 have been given Feb 3rd class dates. Held back, of course.

Will the CP holdback mean us OTS can sit in those seats for the 60 day holdback?
We've been sitting in the pool long enough for our skin to get all wrinkly...and some of the folks have never gotten out to pee....

So far it doesn't look like they are going to backfill January. They still very well could backfill February though. So that would add 20 spots for off the streeters. And if Compass only holds back 60 days, then Compass guys will start showing up in March to the tune of 20 per month for 6 months.

If they back fill then the poolies should most likely be notified today or Monday since they told them all they would get a 2 week notice minimum I believe.

Which mainline buying a regional, merging with it, and dumping all the regional pilots are you talking about? Comair doesn't count, because there was never a merger.

Does the holdback start on the day the class was offered or the actual start date of the class? I read somewhere it starts on the start date of the class.
And...based on MikefromMT's spreadsheet, there doesn't appear to be a huge number of SSP's out there. Is there another source he hasn't considered?

The holdback for the first class started on 1/13, so those guys should be on property in March. After 60-90 days from 1/13, there will be a steady stream of Compass guys available for class for the next 6 months. I think what mustache is saying is that Delta would have to notify poolies by Monday to give them a 2 week heads up to backfill the next Compass class on 2/3. If Mike's new intel of only 30 per month is true, it could be very slow for street hires until Sep or Oct.

If Compass holds them for 60 days, they'll be in class by March. If Compass holds them for 90 days, those guys won't be on property until April. Either way...I agree it's a long, slow road for any off the street hire. Word is...guys interviewing last week were told to expect an August class. I don't see how that's possible.
