I don’t think the attachment worked, although it could just be my phone. What is it?

Rob said on the last company call that TSH knew that some pilots would get nervous and bail after the Delta announcement and that the gojet memo came out so that any nervous compass pilots could jump ship so as to keep us in the TSH family instead of help the mormons. Now...we get this. This is a miserable sign. Furloughs are on the horizon and they want us to fix the problem for them before we get too fat for only 20 airplanes worth of flying. Around 275 pilots by industry standard.

Ehhh... Correct me if I'm wrong, but SkyWest has been the first on the scene with every airline hitting a rough patch in recent memory. It's opportunism at it's finest: hiring a trained, proven 121 guy over a brand-new-cfi-new-hire is gold.
The ALPA email is just grandstanding. Showing that they are working on the company. It's all negativity, all the time, and I get that those boys deal with the worst of the industry every damn day... But I'm choosing to sit on the sunny side of the fence. Until the night before the SkyWest interview cutoff, anyway. 🤷😂

They said in the memo it was part of their contractual obligation to post it per the drawdown agreement. By doing the drawdown agreement they can control the when/where/how to some extent and protect us from 36 aircraft disappearing overnight. Big daddy D doesn't care about Compass and wants their new DC carriers staffed, so thus the agreement to post it, the job fairs, etc. OO and RP will be growing and therefore need our pilots, and want to poach us.

Woaaah
I’m a negative guy, and this thread just got a little too negative for me, so I’ll share some info.
I have some inside info from MSP and some other places. I cannot/will not share specifics, but if anyone is on the fence about leaving... wait 2 more weeks. Like they said on the employee call... in this business, it’s best to keep the company’s cards close to the chest. Something great is coming and no one wants to let the cat out of the bag and mess it up (if messing it up is still possible at this calendar date). The company would have preferred to keep it more of a secret but the DL announcement forced their hand to prevent panic.
There is more evidence to support this but it’s not my place to share it.
Good news is coming soon. Some posts in this thread seem to be on to something

But like I said, keep our cards close guys
