Compass Updates 2: Revenge of the Sit

So uh... Is Moxy back on the table?

We are all typed, and the last line "has said the carrier likely will be based near a technology center other than Silicon Valley" has a SEA based guy wondering about the Amazon/Microsoft/TMobile trinity as a tech center. Also, last trip through the school house had me hearing "don't be so sure" more than once when I joked about about being an ex-SEA guy.

Yeah that would be nice. The comment from the phone call really got me though. Someone asked about the announcement being made this year and the response was something to the extent of "well that's a loaded question". Makes me think we are actually quite a ways away from hearing anything. And the comment saying "we could afford to lose some pilots". Just doesn't have me as optimistic as I used to be.

Agreed.. In the lastest CP newsletter, it says they will try to accommodate any schedule requests for interviews. I suppose it's in their interest to help people get out to avoid having to furlough. Happens to be in our interest too. I hope the union's efforts with securing preferential interviews with the top tier places works out for us and we can get some needed attention

So I think management is trying, if only to save their own jobs. How successful those efforts will be..? We just won’t know until we know.

Sounds nice, but how do we then account for the change in tone from the initial announcement to now?

I think that the overly positive tone in the first announcement was meant to help soften the blow of losing the Delta flying. If they had come right out and said we are losing Delta and don't know when/if there will be anything else the place would have burned down. If they say we are losing Delta but have something great coming soon it sounds a lot better. Then they can slowly back it down over time say great things are still coming just not as soon as we had hoped. and who knows depending on how things go with talks between United and its pilots and what the outcome of those talks are the whole Compass/United deal could easily still fall apart with so many moving parts involved.

I DO believe that we could be getting Mana Air flying as UAX
I DO believe HOW MUCH UAX flying we may be getting is dependent onUA management’s negotiations with ALPA on scope.
I also think those negotiations may take months, years, or eventually go to arbitration which certainly isn’t under the control of anybody at Compass.
That being said, if Moxy starts advertising for Emb 170/190 pilots as a lead-in to flying their A220s, I’m putting in an app. There certainly isn’t any scarcity of opportunities out there if this goes on too long...
