Please correct me if I screwed that up. #mentalmath
Sounds right to me, each group bids in their flow month, not the month they leave property.

To tell prospective new hires to wait for management to announce something that will hurt their careers is terrible advice. You should be advising prospective new hires of the reality of the regional situation so they can make an informed decision and not be shocked when it happens.

I don't need to wait for announcements to know they will happen. Just read between the lines and you can make a very good determination about what is happening.
I imagine this is who 404 thinks he is:

You guys crack me up. I said the new hires need to consider the fact that the 50 seat aircraft will be on their way out sooner than people are leading on.

And I don't feel better about myself by bursting someone's bubble. I feel better knowing they aren't being deceived into the realities of this industry.

I wasn't the one telling the prospective new hires that Skywest has 2 year upgrades for new hires.

There is nothing to predict about the 50 seat aircraft getting parked and the regional industry shrinking. It's already happening.

Since April 1 we are losing 20/month through October 1. Everyone will move up at least another 20/month for the July, August, September and October bids. There is probably a few left after that as FlyingGorilla stated.

Quoted my own post for 404xyz just in case he missed it the first time.

Dude, you did your research on the average day; kudos for that. That fight is over, though, and it really is time to move on. I challenge you to focus your efforts on something forward-looking that can benefit the pilot group. Best of luck.

Here's a quote I just made up that pertains to this situation: "You can be the smartest guy in the room with the greatest ideas, but if you're a wanker about it, people are going to tell you to pss off."

Neither was I.

The point isn't about any airline. The point is if you have nothing constructive to say, then shut up! You're posts are meant to discourage and upset others. Not to be informative and helpful. So give us all a break already.

We get it. You don't want prospective new hires to know the realities of the regional industry and you hate anyone that will let them know. Your koolaid must be really good.

My posts are meant to let the new hires know what to expect, not some rosy situation you like to peddle to them.

Unless you have something relative to Compass's situation, which I equally state the realities of, go back to your own thread.
