It's Compass Airlines. Delta sold them off to Trans States Inc. back in 2010 after acquiring them as part of the merger with Northwest (also acquired Mesaba Airlines, and sold them off the same day as Compass)
So is it Compass Airlines or Trans States?
Compass....they are on a completely separate certificate with different dispatchers, pilots, F/As, etc. But its Trans States Holdings that will foot the bill.
Who needs weather when you've got a compass.
Who needs weather when you've got a compass!
Doesn't DL provide WX to its flights and DL Connection flights?
No idea. Since this was Mexico, I'm assuming it was whoever is the ground handler.
DL provides WX worldwide to all its mainline flights. (They have something like 25 meteorologists on staff.) I've never heard of any "ground handler" supplying WX, other than ATC.
There are plenty of those! Matter of fact, I once worked for DynCorp (now Swissport USA) in KSEA and did exactly that! Mind you to foreign carriers like China Eastern and Aero mexico. All paperwork including load sheet and even some performance figures. So, it's not out of the realms of possibilities......it's just handing over pieces of paper to the flight crew. Not that difficult.
Good point. I believe I was thinking about pre- and en-route WX.
But this is not msinline DAL, is it?
