I think the RAH ego is out of control. You guys think you can buy whatever you want. You guys need to stop drinking BB flavored beverages and worry about staffing what you have.

You are a Hater.

Not a hater, just a frustrated commuter that hears alot of ridiculous and unfounded rumors twice every week(the most common rumors and misconceptions are: 1. We are buying... 2. We are getting 190's and 3. We're more like mainline than a regional, why don't you work here?). And in your defense, most of this flub is coming from the flight attendants, but I've heard enough from the front too. It all started when one of your brand new fo's asked me a while ago why I wasted my time flying a turboprop.....but that's a different story for another time.

Never hold a pilot group responsible for what their F/A's say.

I hate to break it to ya, but you're gonna get the same kinda thing at every airline you commute on. I know I do.

commute with some mainline guys..... some will treat you like the dirt on the bottom of their shoe. NOT all... not MOST... but enough to make it unpleasant.

This is all pure speculation but I do think it is very plausible for NWA to sell Compass especially if NWA can get the price it wants NOW instead of 2 years from now. Plus, BB will get his foot in the door with NWA business.

Compass is poorly managed and NWA management wants to sell it off soon. Compass was a NWA pilot project. NWA management did not want it in the first place.

It is unlikely that RAH will buy Comair because BB is a beancounter and it makes no sense financially to purchase Comair and be stuck with a bunch of CRJ 200s which are on their way out.

Well, I started at Compass yesterday. It is not for sale, and it wont be for at least 5 years. They have ordered their own sim to be place in MSP. Delivery in 2009. Y'all's boy BB does not get along with NWA, as he left on bad terms. Sorry to pee in your cheerios on a Sat morning, but it is time to put this idiotic rumor to rest. And your "poorly managed" comment has been resolved from what I understand.

Good luck to ya at Compass because you are going to need it by all accounts. BB is not our boy and BoilerUp and I did not start this rumor. Nonetheless, it is very plausible. If you have any experience with NWA you would not think this is funny.
