Well, so much for that BS mgmt was spewing during class saying that Compass was just a bluff and would never get off the ground. Glad not to be a part of that cluster*uck anymore!!

Let the mass exodus begin. Pinnacle people, I hope this not as bad as it sounds.

Perhaps more of the carnage has been at Mesaba than Pinnacle over this.

If I am not mistaken, when I interviewed with Pinnacle, they had mentioned that they were going to be getting 76 seat CRJs, looks like that isn't going to happen.

They told me the same thing when I interviewed. Smelled that steaming pile a mile away...

They were looking at an ERJ170 a few weeks ago.... with what money they would buy it though, I have no clue. Great bunch of pilots, too bad the $hit for brains running the place.

The management is going to tell you rosey things so you will work for them. They are selling the company as much as you are selling yourself when you interview.

Compass is only going to be flying 4 planes for the first year, so it will not affect 9E until around the second year. When it does, pinnacle will probably still not have a contract and our union and management will be sending us letters and fighting like little girls.

Will they own any planes by then?.... well, besides the CEO's Citation.

... who knows, maybe I'm shooting steaming poop out of my butt but what would stop NWA from transferring all the CRJs to Compass? (not trying to be a smartass, just curious if there really is anything stopping NWA from pulling an evil move like that- their CEO is, by the way, the spawn of satan himself )
