They have Compass wanting in to undercut them..

A Captain was explaining to me that, everyone in IAD would have to be given a chance to move equipments and that currently we don’t have the infrastructure to endure such endeavor. This captain also explained that there’s a loophole around it that implies 180 days of wait and taking off the 700’s out of Dulles temporarily... and there is when he lost me. I have the feeling that part has something to do with what’s happening with the 700’s and IAH

If things being the way they are right now....the 700s leave Dulles, if a new base forms there within 180 days, then the displaced pilots can bid back onto the new equipment there. After 180 days, displacement rights end.
