Just wait till the certificate consolidation...then we'll see what happens...Not trying to be negative, but I have worked for Northwest companies before, imo Compass was created as a surplus sponge...another NWA shell company.

soc will only cause a need for additional pilots as we all go to delta staffing and cross bidding begins causing training bubbles and increased deadheading. also theres no need for a sponge if theres nothing to absorb. i find it odd that the only ones popping off about flowbacks arent even associated with dal or cpz

the regionals with props and 50 seaters will continue to get hammered next year per yesterdays call. fwiw

Well, I'm glad you have it all figured out then...and I disclamed that it was my opinion, not a pop off....By the way, how do you know who I'm associated with anyway? Try being polite next time...and get off your Delta HIgh horse..I have worked there too!

I'm not on any high horse, my point was that 2 of you that dont work at Delta or CPZ currently are the ones who come on to this thread to drop fear grenades without reason. If you looik at real info instead of speculation then you'd know that the likelihood of furloughs at this point are lower than ever. Our staffing levels are where they need to be for this coming summer and the industry is on a slow rebound. Flying is being shifted back to mainline and 50 seaters are getting shed. Furloughs have a break even point at 22 months (per mgmt) and that point has come and gone.

I could go on and on about why furloughs arent going to happen (barring some major event). After 9/11 the airlines got hammered while the rest of the economy had pretty big expansion so when the economy tanked the airline industry had almost a decade jumpstart on the recession to cut costs and save cash. Thats why the airlines are even making it right now. The RJ bubble burst and the majors have already cut back so much that theres not alot more room to cut without severely disabling the system.

My point in jumping in on this discussion is that here lately there have been more and more people coming onto this forum to not add to discussions but to disrupt discussions.

BTW, I dont "have it all figured out", what i do have is info to back up my statements and I dont just pop in on discussions to lob grenades

Rant over

Ha, thanks Super. Most of us at Compass don't really even think about it any more. If we get kicked to the street, well, sh!t happens. If not, great.

I just think some folks search for 'Compass', click on the first discussion, hit reply, and say 'Yeah, well, when do flowbacks start?' Sad, really.

I agree, it gets pretty old

And who gets the drama queen award?

You are right. Everything is rosy. Daddy Delta is secure.

This coming from a RAH pilot.

I'd say compared to the dysfunction that RAH has become everything is rosy hear at DAL. I'm sure all those seniority integrations will go over well.

And this matters why...? He has as much involvement in company happenings as you do at your company. Your opinions are in RAH threads, therefore others opinions will be in "your" threads.

Sorry if it bothers you that i can post info thats backed up. Please enlighten us back on this thread when you can post something other than flamebait.
