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.
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.

They CLAIMED the contracts that Mesa had renewed and the additional E-175s Mesa will be flying for UAX were not connected to the ‘New Opportunities’ Compass management was pursuing which were still being pursued.
The veracity of that claim for those of us out here in the hinterlands is sort of unknowable.

So I figure they HAVE to be trying, not out of the goodness of their hearts but simply for their own good. Whether they will be successful or not remains to be seen.

And it was a way for JB to keep their startup costs lower until the business was established and turning a profit.
Compass has always been a place for people who liked to roll the dice.

But yes, some really decent opportunities are abundant even now.

You think it’s good now, wait until you can check the furlough box. Every pilot on a hiring team who has ever been furloughed (and most senior enough to be in that position have) goes the extra mile for you.

It's like some of you forget who owns compass. The 20 AA 175's will be transferred to TSA and UA will give 20 more of XJet's parked 145's to TSA to fly.
