ESOP to get buy in from all takers in making it a success, then half the difference between Compass E-175 rates and JB E-190 rates.
Then start negotiating rates for the A220s.

GREAT negotiating climate. Lots of other options out there. Everybody already type-rated so zero training risk. Relatively young group so they start low on the pay scale.

Or is this still purely theoretical?

Purely theoretical. But in this environment, nobody would expect E-190s to be flown at current Compass rates. And if they did it, Compass pilots would be undercutting the whole industry. Not scabs exactly, but ...damn. You’d HAVE to make it with Moxy because no one else would want you after that. Far better to take a lateral to another regional if you don’t have the hours for anything better.

...on that note, what did they say?

The veracity of that claim for those of us out here in the hinterlands is sort of unknowable.

I think it's going to be really interesting to see how Jan/Feb. plays out. Every single day I'm meeting more and more people with opportunities lined up.
Furthermore, if what RT said about the announcement not being connected is true, then if our "go-forward plan" has anything to do with UAX, I highly doubt it deals with the 175. Perhaps the plan has nothing to do with United at all (where are my Moxy fans). Based on what they've said since the DAL announcement, I highly doubt it would be AA that's involved in the go forward plan? Also, it's really interesting that Mesa is getting more UAX flying but yet also adding 737's???
