Both Mesaba and Compass work for Neil Cohen, NWA EVP for . . . . and Regional Airlines. Cohen is a "numbers" cruncher. He currently owns about 6 million in NWA stock and has nine payments of more (every six months).
See http://www.secinfo.com/d13vF9.ucR9.htm
If NWA profits go up in the next few years he could own about ten million in stock. His goals should be effectiveness (doing the right thing) and efficiency (doing it the right way).
IMHO: There is no efficiency in operating two regionals. Mesaba is on "a high." Read the posts by recent hires in this thread. Then read the two Compass threads. They are coming apart at the seams.
If they both have the same boss , why are they so different and what will the future for both be ?
I think it's a reasonable question; if only Neal would answer.

Sounds reasonable and "efficient" to me.

Hang in there guys. Good to see all of you are excited to come to XJ. Seniority list is growing fast and this is a great time to come aboard. We have all been through it one time or another and I myself went through it this Spring and since I,ve been hired, XJ has added over 200 of you guys to the pilot seniority list.
HR will call soon. They are just really busy with all this hiring. Just relax and enjoy the times you have now because once training starts, it will be furious and fast. You will enjoy the training though. It's First rate. Mesaba is a class act as far as regionals go, and it is run like a major airline. You'll know what I mean by this when you show up at the training center. Training department is first rate when compared to others.

Purchasing MESABA came AFTER the SJ plan. Now that NWA owns a 'working' regional, the question is, what are we doing with this 'COMPASS' thing now?
Those in the know would NEVER have gone to COMPASS...no way!

I was offered a class in November and have a few questions on some work rules.
1. What is deadhead pay? (100%, 50%?)
2. Pay for cancellations? (Wx, Mx, any others)
3. Any pay for Repo, Runup, or Limo/Transportation?
4. Hot reserve pay?
5. Does crew scheduling make trading trips with someone like pulling teeth?
Thanks for any info you guys might have. Also does anyone know what routes the -200 will be flying?

Congrats!

Thanks. I interviewed in early September (the 6th I think) and got a call about three days after. They are letting me start in November because I'm getting married at the end of October. Seems like a good company. I also have an interview at Pinnacle but haven't decided if I want to go yet. It seems like being based at home and be at home during training would be a lot better than being guarateed a right seat in a jet. But who knows.
