While you are writing them, ask about Compass. You will likely get a reply along the lines of "we are evaluating the representational situation" which means "looking at divestiture." Get clarification.
Frankly, I do not know what it takes to make the ship change course. Resolutions like the one Luis Martinez plans on introducing at the DTW LEC meeting on 3/30 help to show political interest. If you are a DTW pilot - show up and vote!
Sponsors for Atlanta, New York, LA, CVG, etc. would be a good thing too. Luis's contact information is on the ALPA board where his resolution is getting some discussion.

It would stop the erosion of mainline flying. It is clear that management will walk all over us and violate our contracts when they want, and pay nothing in reparations.

It has been described at length earlier in the thread, but b/c Compass pilots were hired with the expectation of flowing up to NWA (now Delta), and interviewed as such. Additionally, they are represented by our MEC.
The process of stapling them would be much simpler than involving all the animosity and such at Comair... Mesaba being a tad less messy than Comair, but still much more complicated.
