Depends on when that SKW CA was hired at SKW. Guys from my former employer that jumped ship and went as late as 2008 to CPZ flowed to DAL.

Although with the DAL/NWA merge, the status of the flow was in question. And if DAL-South had their way, probably wouldn't have happened.

When CZ was created it was owned by NWA, so you had flow to a MSP-centric major.
Never mind that when the "Across the Table" agreement (birth of CPZ) was created it was more furlough protection than anything else.

They were "hiring", but there was the possibility one would be on the street soon if NWA had any more furloughs.

But yeah, hind sight is 20/20.

Speaking of Compass, they have just announced a new hire bonus of $17,500 now so I guess there is some kind of a shortage happening.
