Now that's good news.

Really good news for Compass pilots would've been if we were hired by mainline to fly the Embraers at mainline. That's not what NW ALPA voted in, unfortunately. Hopefully you and your cohorts will realize that from here on in, what happens at Compass does affect you because every time management lowers the boom at Compass they will use that against the NW pilots as well. So yes, good news for Compass pilots is good news for NW pilots as well.

My sources tell me that 29 will be the total number of Check Airman when we have all 370+ pilots on board.
Does anyone know when DTW will open? I haven't heard anything about it lately. It will help my base seniority when all the CRJ guys go there. Five numbers are five numbers man! Xtreme I owe you a few drinks when we do reccurent in YUL!! Maybe we can be at the Unison for Playboy night again.

Don't plan on going to the Unison without me boys! I need to check out the eye candy behind the bar, now that I should have money.

Dang I couldn't afford to go out. Now that I may be getting a check for backpay that might be a different story.... have you talked to JK to see when these checks might appear?

Pilot41, I'm sorry my attempt at humor offended you. I have plenty of friends and family at NWA that were furloughed.

Enjoy
