It has something to do with them being a part of the same ALPA local or something. |
You rang?? Yeah I have nothing against the Compass guys at all. BUT...it is true that
some, not all already consider themselves above Mesaba and Pinnacle.
Recently I was trying to jumpseat home (on a Northwest Mainline flight). I was the first pilot at the gate, and the flight appeared to be full. Well, this Compass guy strolls up and explains to me that they should have the priority over the jumpseat over Mesaba AND Pinnacle! Unbelievable! Well long story short, the conversation was over at that point and we both ended up getting seats in the back no problem.
The kicker is that he believed that a Compass pilot should have the priority on an XJ flight too...HA!.....
