Great general points. However (and I may be wrong), I understood part of what was making the sale feasible was dwindling work for Compass from both AA (sending flying to Envoy) and DL (sending flying to SkyWest & Endeavor). GoJet has major sustainment issues (hiring street CA’s currently) as well. I understand TransStates to be the only ‘healthy’ airline of the 3 so - if the buyout/merger occurs - then Compass & GoJet pilots could be in a bad spot.

For that matter, when seniority lists are merged, the smaller pilot workforce generally gains.

Except, when a gate agent makes a mistake, they don't have the potential to kill people, pilots do, and so do mechanics. That is a good reason for high pay and good working conditions for pilots, mechanics, DX, and FAs.
