Anybody know offhand how junior (in years) SLC, LAX, MSP or SEA are? Also, how many Compass pilots have received class dates so far since the flow started. Thanks in advance.

MSP (88) and SLC (320) were awarded to 2014 hires in latest AE.

Any rumors about a potential NYC 717 base in the near future?
Thx

The last AE preamble said they were deciding whether or not to put it out west. If it doesn't go out west, then NYC was likely the next base. Let's hope for more Left Coast flying! :)

Yeah, last skipper I flew with mentioned something about Seattle possibly. Lemme make a few phone calls. They listen to me :p

You guys are smoking crack.....we need more east coast flying like a hole in the head. SEATTLE needs the 717 to feed the Asian build up. The quicker we build our OWN West coast feed the quicker we can totally kick Alaskan to the curb. At an LEC meeting about 18 months ago when I was venting as usual about Alaskan, the LEC Rep exclaimed that we could never end our relationship with Alaskan, Delta would have to order 100 airplanes and hire a 1000 pilots.....WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT???

Guess What were doing:D:D:D

The 717 is bid separately from the M88/90? I though it was a common type.

yes its a completely separate category. The DC9 was separate from the Md-88/90 also and it was at least somewhat similar. The 717, while a DC9 type rating, is completely different than the md88/90.

Uh, filling new west coast flying on E175 and CRJ900s? Other than that, your comments are fairly accurate in a standard douchebag kinda way.
