If CPZ is no longer owned by Delta, wouldn't it be economically better to flow your pilots at yr3/4 versus hanging onto them to yr10/20?
Obviously it costs money to train newbs, question is which is cheaper for the new ownership?

What will this mean for current TSA? It's interesting how two regionals that are in deep contract talks with their pilots, claiming they have no money to spend, are making deals to buy up airlines. What a failure for the RLA and the NMB.

Two things seem clear to me.
1) Hulas CAN afford to pay us more
2) Now if we strike, he probably will shut TSA down because he has cash coming in from Compass and can afford the hit he'd take on TSA.
I'm beyond angry at this RLA/NMB nonsense. If TSA isn't given an immediate proffer after this news, I'm gonna lose my mind.

And yes, my condolences to Compass pilots.

Compass and TSA are both ALPA...and I'm sure there are plenty of TSA alums working at Compass.
There's no reason whatsoever that both airlines' pilot groups couldn't work together for the benefit of BOTH.

This definitely gives me the urge to tell TSA to go screw themselves if they do ever decide to recall. I'm willing to give up my recall rights to keep my morals and dignity in check. I would feel bad going back to TSA, becasue I know years down the line Compass won't be the same airline anymore due to TSA managment. I dread the day when their contract expires. Plus I don't wan't to have a target on me if I do decide to go back, especially with the Compass pilots.
At least on the bright side Gojets is no longer Hulas's baby, Compass is.

except that Hulas already won in court saying TSA and GoJets are different companies all while sharing HQ's and multiple other departments. It will be near impossible to force a single carrier petition and merged list with compass having its own HQ, maint, dispatch, sched. etc. :-(
