Actually they can make you do more than that if you are the only person available in your position. Never heard of that happening yet, but if we get short staffed for any reason, who knows what will happen.

The rumors are just that. They range from Delta taking 120 flows later this year to no flows until 2015. And no growth to 6 more planes for Delta, and "we have been noticed by other carriers". Who knows. The rumors tend to be positive, but I will count on that once it has already happened.

Oops I missed that part...

What does "noticed by other carriers" mean?

Rumor has it an undisclosed airline has approached Compass for flying.

Which could just mean some has put feelers out for bids. Regional airlines are bidding on work all the time and with so many players chances are your airline is not the lowest. The issue with compass is to fly for someone else we need planes and although CRJ's are trading hands all the time E-170's are a lot harder to come by. Also they are larger airframes which means there has to be room in the major airline's scope allow compass flying and most all of those slots are already taken. Nothing says we can't take on another fleet type, but with GoJet already flying CRJ's for a lower pay rate I highly doubt it would ever make financial sense to throw any CRJ work our way. Compass is kind of a niche product which can be both good and bad, but don't bank on any growth.

Anyone know how much the guys on reserve are flying? Also, anymore rumors on the DTW base going away?

Reserve guys flying about 60 to 75 a month and DTW has been "going" for 3 years now. I bet it will stay a small nitch base for a while.

Flew with a check airman last week and they were told at a meeting DTW will be staying a base for the foreseeable future.

Good to hear...thanks for the info guys.
