I sent you a message gojo.

Sorry I misread that. I thought you meant another compass employee. My apologies

I suppose every company has differences. My question was, is it allowed? Sounds like it is. Thanks everyone. Merry Christmas

American performance is good and Delta is improving, but needs to be better.

Yeah I feel like some more flying is on the way why they're hiring at this rate but who knows we will just have to wait and see

I saw the base visit presentation and it seems like they've been aggressively attacking the operational issues that relate to our performance (issues both visible to the line and not). With the growth, flows, and new operation for AA, there has been a lot of stress on the operation. 'As we settle into the current operation, our performance will improve, and we'll be able to seek out more growth' - I'm paraphrasing there but it did seem as if J.Rosholt believes we will win more flying. He also said that Rick Leach is a "genius" at getting new flying. Now this could be nothing more than smoke, but it could be foreshadowing. Basically... move along, nothing to see here.

Depends if there are FAs or not. If there are, then I'll make sure OAL gets on. If there's not, then I wouldn't have a problem taking a jumpseater, but it's tough to put people in seats without the required personnel in place.
