Heard there's more than one now

Even if there was a CP hired for LAX, that information would be kept completely confidential under an NDA. The DFW based CA going around telling everyone that he comes in contact with that he's been hired as the LAX CP is full of excrement. Now, having said that, there have been members of management here that have straight up said that AAG will in fact be transferring the 20 planes at Compass to Envoy. Personally, I won't believe it until I see it.

Take it for what it’s worth. RN said the end of the Compass contract is sometime early next year and roughly corresponds to the time when we finish taking our current new 175s. He said probably 80% likely to get the planes, but doesn’t necessarily mean we get LAX back.

Envoy getting those 20 planes back also correlates with what AAG has said about wanting to deal with fewer regionals and have them more significant in size. I believe Compass is the smallest contract AAG has. It also follows with Compass being exclusively a Delta Connection.

It’s not like they would come all at once. Compass probably got them about two a month and they would probably come off contract the same way so it wouldn’t be a big hit to either company.

But, all that makes way too much sense. I’m not holding my breath or losing any sleep over it.

The person who keeps telling that story will never be hired to any sort of management position. So no truth to that rumor.

Wishing you guys all the best.

How much of a advance warning was there before MIA reopened? I would have to imagine the company has a "break in case of LAX base openening" box stashed somewhere.

I think it was only about sixty days. Envoy and the union wants more but AAG holds the cards here.

Pretty sure if anyplace has a contingency plan for opening it is certainly LAX.

I'm gonna guess you weren't following the news today

No. Do tell.

I think he is referring to the fact that Delta kicked Compass out today.

Have a look over at the Compass and GoJet forums. Delta is consolidating their regionals.
