Nothing personal amigo. Just an observation.

Today's email:

Good Tuesday morning!

Would someone please turn off the blow torch in the left bottom corner of the USA!!! My home weather station, yes I am a nerd, melted yesterday as temps were 106 by midday!! Even uber drivers at LAX were sweating, and that’s on top of the rape allegations several were arrested for. Thanks to all of you who have been dealing with the heat in our operations and provided the best experience to our passengers!!

Another strong day for flight ops. We continue to see miscoded delays at some of our stations, so please keep the delay reports coming and accurate. Remember LAX Delta ramp frequency has changed to 131.450

VFR over most of our dancefloor. Our friends at SFO are slow dancing yet again, with a delay program in place. A bunch of clouds will build and move out of the Big Sky country, heading towards the Twin Cities. This may lead to some rough dancing later on and may see some twists and twerks.

Be safe, continue to focus on D0 and enjoy the office views!!





Friday's Email:
Good Friday morning!

Another good day yesterday for Flight Ops. There was an emergency shutdown around 1500 EDT of several of our computer systems and software. It appears our friends in North Korea or Russia, are again trying to see how we are operating so well. Don’t worry, they are not trying to influence the results… The CTRL+ALT+DEL caused a few minor delays for flight releases and ATC clearances. Yesterday and unfortunately today, 2 aircraft still have expired NAV Database, 621 and 626. Please remember to verify your routes comply with the restrictions of the MEL. Also you may want to polish up on your dead reckoning skills.

Things are a little cooler out west today, instead of 149 degrees its 148, so positive movement. It got too hot in Las Vegas yesterday. I thought nothing could be hotter than Britney Spears in Las Vegas, but yesterday it was even hotter and we had several flights grounded. Looks like it’s going to be a long hot summer.

Thanks again for the great performance. Keep the delay reports coming and remember to reference to your capped payloads for hot and high airports.
No offense but airing the company's dirty laundry on a public forum isn't very professional either...I'm sure it will be handled internally appropriately

I wanted to work at the COMPASS AIRLINES, but then you guys lost aircraft and the recruiters started being really shady to me. Im really glad I did not sign on with you because of things like this. Unprofessional, and the future seems very foggy.

Your post history indicates you wanted to work at COMPASS AIRLINES as recently as April this year. If I recall correctly, the news of COMPASS AIRLINES losing airplanes was released in December last year. It wasn't enough of a red flag then? I'm starting to think you didn't make it past our interview process.

This place isn't perfect, but the people here are generally good people who want to put in their time professionally and safely, and then move on in their careers.

because your recruiters lied for 4 months. "Edwin classes starting soon" blah blah. The interview was simple easy. I might be ESL but not a dummy.

but Edwin, classes are running now. How exactly were you lied to? 3 or 4 months, in my book, counts as soon.

On topic. The hell am I supposed to be mad at? I get it, his sense of humor may not be for everyone, but that's as far as I would take it. The thread just stinks of someone trying really hard to be ****ed. Find a hobby, man. Go outside and play.

Also Sig, you should feel pretty concerned that you can talk about someone else's professionalism while publicity posting an internal memo.

And I should care? LAX CP is a piece of ____. I left cus of him. Friend's don't like him either. Something has to be done. So here I am being unprofessional.

I think it makes him look professional and shines a lite on the company that new hires thinking of signing on to COMPASS AIRLINEs should see. Very good information.

Don't worry guys. These two pieces of work are 1)jealous that he didn't get hired here 2)jaded that he got fired/forced out/got in trouble by said Cp

Theres nothing you can say to make them like Compass so how about you just ignore them?

I agree it's pretty unprofessional to post an internal email listed as confidential only to be seen by those on the email list. It's unethical and speaks to the poster's integrity.

Is the CP unprofessional for saying those things? I cringed when I read the word "rape" in the email so that was weird. But other than that, in my option, it's his sad attempt at being funny. That's it.

Well I have never had a problem with him and he has helped out a time or two getting time off when I needed it and had exhausted all other options but then again I show up on time, don't call in sick and I wear my hat.
