Compass? Where else are you going to go if you want the west coast?


Compass just closed their DTW base and opened PHX. They also have LAX and PDX.

The ones who wanted to make it a home are getting caught up in the mess, getting fed up, putting apps out, and ceasing to care much.


This mentality is the problem. Wanting to get in and get out does not mean you can’t unionize while you are still on property in order to make it better. It’s a good insurance policy in case you find yourself stuck longer than planned.

The timing right now is good. You have more than four years before a new pay package. After unionizing, it’ll take about 2 years to get a contract.

What’s make you think it will take 2 years after unionizing to get a contract?

Just for the sake of accuracy, it was MSP that was recently closed. DTW closed a couple of years ago and Compass has a base in SEA not PDX. PHX and LAX are correct.

Carry on.

Look like us?

You mean African American or Asian American or Native Indian or Indian or Hispanic or White American, etc, etc?

“Us” here in the States has many different looks and colors......

Oz has common language, common culture, no security worries, good GA infrastructure (plenty of pilots, real pilots vice MPL), and painless right to work path. That's the first place they'd look after Canada.

Plus it's a bit of a hassle to change employers on a work visa...

I know and no one seems to care that they are doing it to avoid as long as they can to raise pay. They are importing pilots because they cannot get enough pilots at the compensation level they are currently offering. If they could fill classes with US pilots they would not be importing pilots and to get around raising pay they started looking at importing pilots. Looks a bit like Norwegian stuff to me....it can also be seen as importing cheap labor as not enough US pilots wants to work for the current pay.....must fill classes.....right

What could we do about it though? Why should we even care?

It's obvious that they can't fill classes with the subpar pay scale that passes for industry-mocking. We've even had FOs bail for competitors lately! That says a lot...

They'll do whatever they must to protect their cheap payscale. I keep telling you guys to make your exit as soon as you can manage it. Don't waste a moment here longer than you must. Only after a mass exodus of pilots takes place will future SkyWest pilots benefit.
