I doubt it. Although any thing is possible in this industry. Currently just Compass CEO and Compass negotiation group. The schedule may change somewhat as we just lost a ALPA Captain to a car accident yesterday in Carroll ND. Captain Steve Peterka was the ALPA secretary treasuer. He was involved with the recent meetings between DALPA and Compass. He was a great leader and pilot.

He received the ALPA airmanship award for his actions with a onboard fire in 2008. I imagine this will have a lasting impact on the Compass pilot community and could cause a impact with the entire process.

Some may know Captain Peterka from his time flying the DC10 for Sun Country, the 747 for Polar or the Airbus for Jet Blue.

Tailwinds Steve. :(

Prayers for your Family & Friends. :(

I stand correctged the accident happened in carrington nd. The article can be found at the bismarck tribune. Also google his name and you can read up on his alpa superior aviation skills award for his handeling of a lav fire at 32000 feet. The aviation field lost one of the "good guys"

Here's the link:
ALPA News Release

FL320 to touchdown in 8 min 30 sec, and none too soon: the fire was out of control by the time they got it down, and had burned through the lavatory sidewall.

Rest in Peace Peterka

Recently heard of this tragic accident as well. Having gone through new hire training with Steve I think we both agree he was a great guy. I hadn't seen him in several years until this past Wed. I ran into him in the jetbridge in IAD as he was leaving from the weeks ALPA meetings and he seemed upbeat about his upcoming chance to go to DAL in the second class. It is truly sad to see something like this happen just short of someones realized goals.

I believe he was also our block 1 rep as well.

RIP Steve we will all remember you and the great stories.

Yes, the regional airlines (the company) have made gains but I are you seriously saying that the massive growth at the regionals is a gain for those pilots? If you are, I would have to paraphrase you and say PUH-LEEZ!!!!! More FO jobs that top out between $37-$44 are not gains!

In the last decade scope has been loosened to prevent larger pay cuts and further errosion of contracts. If this isn't the case then why give up scope? It's part of the contracts that have been used in bargaining. Smaller rather than larger paycuts is a gain.

Yes, & the regional have benefited 10 fold. Far more then anything the Majors received, especially since most are still operating on BK wages.

Your argument fails.

Considering the amount of lifers at regionals, yes. They've made a conscious decision to stay because they are too comfortable with their schedules and padding below them. I heard countless CAs @ ExpressJet yap about how they didn't want to be on reserve again, they didn't want to sit an airplane for more then 2 hours at a time, they could afford the pay cut, blah, blah, blah, blah. Meanwhile, countless pilots junior to them have moved on to higher paying jobs @ DAL, CAL, NWA, JB, Emirates, Omni, Atlas, Cathay and more.
