Difficult to see such an arrangement saving Compass. A different aircraft with a different mission for LESS Money. I mean, if someone desperately needed a type rating to further their career...well, maybe briefly. But the hiring wave at the majors has barely started and as soon as the MAX gets recertified that will generate a requirement for 2000 pilots more, plus Moxie/Breeze.

The opportunities out there are too many and too good to take bad ones.

I’m still on the 170/190 train. I don’t believe we’ll be flying anything else. Ok ok, Amazon 190 freighters?!

Funny thing is, last year there were some semi-strong rumours Amazon wanted to start a feeder type service using smaller jets (MRJ at that stage) to secondary locations. But at the time never made it off the ground.

What about the whole, “...this will provide a pathway to mainline” thing? Still on the 170/190 train as well. I mean, we’re still screwed, but it’s not cuz of amazon. It’s because United was the Hail Mary.

Everyone was saying United flying but is there a chance American (via Envoy) could be our knight in shining armor?

American does more flying out of LAX then any other airline, used to have a base in LAX with American Eagle, already has an operation through Compass doing flying in LAX, are getting more E175...

Im really reaching but at this point who isn’t!

Still hoping for EMB-190s until the A-220s get here....
