I think compass is to keep and let grow like AE and Mesaba well buy low flip it and sell for profit. Thats what they did with Pinnacle.

The 10-year ASA with NWA has in it the ability for NWA to pull airplanes from Pinnacle if they fly more than 20 airplanes from another carrier (like Delta).

Pinnacle will soon be flying 16 CRJ-900's for Delta, and Phil said that 16 is only the beginning. They plan on flying many more for Delta. As soon as they go over 20, NWA starts pulling 200's and giving them to Mesaba.

That could lend some credence to why we purchased a -200 sim when we only are scheduled to get 15 from 9E.

Does anyone know what the minimums are for Compass, and if they are hiring below the mins. I looked at their times on the website and they were 1500 TT and 1000 ME. Is that really how many hours they are looking for?

They, too may lower them if the thought of a shiny new E175 isn't enough to lure in pilots in the numbers they require. The first bunch of pilots that they hired were either going straight to the left seat or becoming management and line check pilots, so most of them had much more time than the mins. But I haven't heard much of late about hiring over there.
