Life at Compass

How's staffing going? Heard a couple new planes have been parked, any truth to this?

yep, airline is shutting down at the end of the year.

I saw a bunch of RONs at LAX. They were definitely parked.

Ya....No

I've dropped days on a reserve line.

Was that an awarded reserve line or a build up line? You can drop reserve days on a build up line.

 

[ian]

You used to be able to drop reserve days on a straight reserve line or so I'm told

 

[HobGoblin]

Ya....No

Gotcha thanks.
What's the delivery schedule on the AA planes, what's the latest couple you've gotten/when were they delivered?

 

[Vyse]

Good luck if you're LAX based. I quit trying because it took so long. Once I went into the office to ask and I was shown a stack at least an inch think of expense reports that need processed.

I was told one month by the new base admin. We shall see.

Gotcha thanks.

Yes.

 

[grkero]

Anyone know if that is in addition to the scheduled $10k bonus for new hires?

 

[JetDoc]

Yes.

Does the union have a position on this or is it something that falls outside the scope of the contract?

My understanding, which is probably wrong, is that the company can do whatever they want before someone becomes a compass employee and this seems to be one of those cases.

It is not in addition.

Any idea of those tail numbers? Just trying to squash that rumor I heard

Really? Give it up. They are not parking planes. They keep 1 or 2 as an operational spare at all times but that hasn't done anything toward staffing. Seriously, move along.

Since they start at N200NN and go up sequentially....not too tough to figure out.

He might be right actually since Delta is going to start the flow up again.

Okay maybes it's the operational spares that the rumor source was misinterpreting as parked for staffing. Would make sense as you claim one or two, that's about what the rumor was

 

[USN88]

I guess the newest one got into a fender bender last night in SDF with a 170. Ooooops!

Being parked on the X-ray line overnight doesn't mean it's been taken out of service.
