"You do know that with a flow through, there is also a flow back, and who knows, most likely Compass/Mesaba/Comair will be merged together."


HA, thats a good one. Do you really think the new Delta is dumb enough to bring the pimple on their butt to the new airline. Why would they merge those three when they could have done the same with ASA and Comair years ago. I ll tell ya, they want to keep their options open and whipsaw. Also, the Delta pilots, do you honestly think that they would want a Comair guy to flow up into Delta, not a chance. Most Delta guys don't want NWA guys at their airline. Plus, the new pilot group would have to ratify a flow through/down. And I don't see that happening though. The guy is right, if you want to take a chance and go to Compass or Mesaba, I would choose Mesaba over Compass, it is well worth the risk. A quick upgrade 2 yrs or less, and if you get pushed out on the street at least you have some PIC. CRJ SIC time is not worth the ink in the logbook.

 

Driver, glad to have you back, sorry your in such a foul mood, (as always). Anyhoo, I don't take what you say personal, just letting you know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I posted about Compass since a few here have expressed wanting to leave Comair. I have heard of the rumor of the mega merger involving CC&M, it may be true, just trying to be helpful. In all its' finality, you are the one who has to decide what's best for you.

Oh, and if you don't like my post or the thread I STARTED, APC has many other topics I'm sure would garner your esteemed presence. We try to keep it professional on here, personal attacks are not the way to go.

 

You bring up a valid point, AV8OR. I can see that. Since no one can verify whether J.O. fought this or not, or Comair was used as leverage, Mesaba or Compass could be good alternatives. Of course, CC&M might merge, too. Who knows.

 

those 3 lists merging would be fun to watch.

 

If that quote isn't creeptastic, I don't know what is.

Seriously go out and fly more and spend less time on the internet

 

Yeah, it would be, but I think it would be smart thing to do. Merge all the wholly owned together and integrate them into Delta. At the end, you will have 1 Airline (Delta), 1 seniority list, 1 corporate HQ (ATL) and 1 Operations Center. Done! Wouldn't surprise me if DL is headed that direction...

No, it's not Nicole Whitehead. She actually went to the same flight school I went to and just finished her training when I started going there...

 

Nicole Whitehead was working on her ratings up when I got my MEI from ATP

on the list merger, how would you do it to be fair. the most senior person at Compass could probably barley be a decent line holder at Comair if you went DOH.

 

You don't do DOH, you do relative seniority. Our senior guys would be PO'ed...but oh well. Being an FO, who was getting near an upgrade before this recent mess started, I would lose out quite a bit...but still relative seniority is the only fair way. I wouldn't think of asking for DOH...I am not that guy.

 

They'd be asking for "relative seniority" for sure. If they are in the top 25% on their list, they'd be asking for a slot in the top 25% of a combined list.

If there were a straight DOH merge, there would no doubt be fences put up to protect people from being pushed out of their seat.

 

LOL !!!! Good idea!!!
