So what are you going to do to help the company get their costs in line with Compass and Endeavor? How about voting in a 12/4 cap. Shouldn't be a big deal for you, as you'll never be here long enough to cap out, right? You'll be moving on to a "real airline" soon, right? Or you could just FUPM and burn it down on your way out.

SkyWest is SOOOOOO expensive that they pulled in a $140M profit last year. What they need to do is figure out how to make money on the ExpressJet side so they can afford to cut "costs" on the SkyWest side. Right now they need every bit of that $140M profit to cover ExpressJet's loses.

One List the companies and get rid of all the duplication. Done!

Merge all DCI carriers into one. Even more savings. Right?

So why did you count 3 of the E170's in your numbers if they are already accounted for in another section? Compass only has 36 70+ seat aircraft.

Looks to me like Delta has plenty of room to move. And any room is more room than United has for the foreseeable future. Right?

And don't go getting all preachy about mainline taking back their flying. You've been the most giddy cheerleader of Compass growing by 50% over the next year.
You are a piece of work aren't you? Sounds like you need some good preaching to and a lesson on how regionals work and why we elect to work for them. You sound more and more naive the more you post.

I'm hardly a cheerleader for regional growth. I'm a cheerleader for other pilots looking to progress quickly with a good pilot group and have an opportunity to improve their QOL. I happen to work at an airline with lots of movement due to a huge chunk moving to Delta and I had nothing to do with negotiating more airplanes with AA. If you need a recommendation to come to Compass then I will gladly recommend......never mind. I would never recommend you and your attitude. You'd be miserable to fly with on a long 4 day.

Just like I said. Between 15-30 large RJs from maxing out.

I never stated your "guess" was incorrect, did I?

Sorry, guilty as charged.

Shuttle America - 16

12 possible large RJs before scoping out. But the agreement with DALPA becomes amendable on Dec. 31, 2015. There could always be more relief in the works.
