I doubt the revenue generated from the AA flying will support the existing overhead of this place, far less if the company has to pay for involuntary displacements of large numbers of pilots from SEA and PHX to LAX. Without more aircraft and flying it just doesn’t pencil out.
So yeah, let’s hope whatever resources they have are negotiating about saving the company. Otherwise ZED agreements are going to be a pretty moot issue.

Not saying it’s a fixed cost, but going from a 56 to a 20 aircraft fleet sure loses you economies of scale.

Just curious when does the last delta aircraft leave property? We usually have something like 6 crews per aircraft? So basically we will need to shrink to 240 pilots when the delta aircraft leave if they are not replaced. Yikes! Correct me if I’m wrong I was never a good student....

**Assumptions and Rough Math**
On the low side loss of 25 per month.
Would be 175 pilot loss by June.
Saying roughly 600 pilots at compass.
That’s about 425 pilots in June.
Attrition outside of that would need to be around. 150 to get roughly to that 240 number by June.

The math of 4 per month based on what we’ve seen would result in the first week of June. I think that is around what the original plan stated as well. So based on attrition and hiring.

It’s the regionals. What did you expect? Get in, get your time, and then go find your lifetime job.

Because Compass would become part of ManaAir...everything I’ve heard from whispers suggest that’s the route things are headed in. I heard these whispers back in the late summer. This was after David Garrison gave a presentation in ATL saying they were going to 3 RJ operators for DCI. The writing was on the wall then. I agree there letting people go because it’s going to take awhile to spool up...
