This flying was probably unprofitable as it was flying to "get our foot in the door" with U.S. air/ American now that the door hasn't opened as we thought we won't do the flying below market price. The plan seems to be for compass operate 175 on west coast with Mesa doing Phoenix until Piedmont can get their 50 seater program up running
Calm down? What gave you the impression I was worked up about it.

I bet the pilots in LA don't think that the 48 or so lines of flying that the LAX domicile will no longer have in the fall is a "good thing".

It looks like the LA people are the losers here yet on the last bid they transferred a boatload of people into that base. I think there's a part two to this story.

We still seem to be hiring like crazy. Pilot seniority list over 3500.

Hopefully, Eagle guys get to fly the aircraft with their livery on it out of LAX .
When I was hired in the Fall of 2013, my seniority number was 3,3XX...that's a net gain of 200.

We might see more of Envoy & Compass on the West Coast of AA...looks like Mesa won't be able to dodge the Phoenix reduction bullet either.

Right. Given the average attrition, 28 per month, that's approximately 800 pilots added over the past 2 years. For a pilot "shortage" they seem to be doing okay in the hiring department.

Has Skywest ever had this many pilots on the seniority list?

Not sure, maybe some of the senior guys can chime in.

Never said LAX, did I...I said West Coast? However, only time will tell.

FaceBiter's Part Two story - Compass moves out of LAX and SkyWest does flying of 4 900s and 19 175s under the Delta banner.
