Apparently our management is lying to our new hires in class on day 1 of indoc. They are telling them explicitly that the company wants to give us raises and ALPA is standing in the way of that. The only way ALPA could be standing in the way of raises is if they come with concessions elsewhere. If these raises were clean, the company would have our MEC signing off in a heartbeat. Also, that several members of management are running around saying that the Compass planes are coming here for sure. Done deal, just no dates yet.
Heard from the crew roominati in DFW yesterday.

There's no way anyone in management could say that we are getting compass's planes if it was certain. There'd be an NDA and they wouldn't be able to tell anyone. Do they think it's likely? Maybe, but i look at the fact that they are spreading that rumor as confirmation that it's not a fact.

And I’m pretty sure that NY was announced and then a CP was selected. Those kind of jobs usually have to be advertised to the pilot group as a whole, even if they have someone in mind.

So then, I guess the plan is to just "negotiate" until most of the MEC flows, the economy ****s the bed and the company can tell us to go ******* ourselves again for real. Ok cool.
That GoJet DEC bonus doesn't look so bad anymore anyway. At least I could get to Spirit.

I was just cracking a joke with reference to their "flow" program. From what I hear, it's shady at best. It would take a few more good hard kicks in the nuts here before I'd leave to go be the plug at another regional. I have regularly updated applications in with UA, DL, AA, FX, NK, F9 and WN. I would love to get to mainline asap but if Spirit calls tomorrow, I'm outta here. The thing is, my logbook likely isn't thick enough for the computer to even let my app see the light of day yet.
