Baris 40:
Kompas menghentikan operasinya pada 5 April 2020, dengan alasan berkurangnya permintaan perjalanan yang berasal dari [[pandemi COVID-19]], bersama dengan upaya kepemilikan mereka yang gagal untuk mengamankan penerbangan tambahan. Maskapai ini menghentikan operasinya dalam waktu seminggu setelah perusahaan saudara mereka, [[Trans States Airlines]], meninggalkan [[GoJet Airlines]] sebagai satu-satunya maskapai penerbangan yang dioperasikan oleh Trans States Holdings.
==Sejarah==
Compass Airlines was a regional airline formed as a result of a contract dispute between [[Northwest Airlines]] and its pilots' union, the [[Air Line Pilots Association]] (ALPA). The Northwest Airlines pilot group was asked to give relief on a section of their collective bargaining agreement governing "[[Scope clause|scope]]", which protects pilot jobs by ensuring that an airline's customers are flown by the employees of that airline. The pilots eventually agreed to a concession on the scope of their contract allowing a limited number of 76-seat aircraft to be flown by outsourced pilots working for a [[subcontractor]] [[regional airline]]. In exchange for their concession the Northwest Airlines pilots demanded in return that the pilots of these new aircraft would eventually "flow-up" into mainline pilot jobs at Northwest Airlines and that Northwest Airlines pilots would retain the ability to "flow-down" into the newly subcontracted pilot jobs in the event that Northwest Airlines were to [[furlough]] the mainline pilots.
In order to adapt to the agreement, and fulfill a need to serve the regional markets with smaller, more efficient aircraft and a dramatically reduced wage labor force, Northwest bought the [[operating certificate]] of bankrupt [[Independence Air]] on March 10, 2006, for $2 million. During the concept phase, the subsidiary was known as "[[NewCo]]". Compass' operations were limited to 76-seat aircraft or less, due to the language in the pilot contract at the [[mainline (flight)|mainline]] carrier.
On September 28, 2006, Compass Airlines officially received approval from the [[United States Department of Transportation]] to begin operations. On April 5, 2007, Compass Airlines received [[Federal Aviation Administration|FAA]] certification to begin commercial passenger operations with a single CRJ-200 (N601XJ).<ref>[https://www.usatoday.com/travel/flights/2007-04-06-nwa-compass-ready-to-fly_N.htm Compass Airlines Receives DOT & FAA Approval To Begin Operations] (USA Today: April 6, 2007)</ref>
On May 2, 2007, the airline had its first revenue flight from [[Washington Dulles International Airport]] to [[Minneapolis−Saint Paul International Airport]],<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/business/AP-Northwest-Compass.html Northwest Airlines' Subsidiary Compass Takes Off] (New York Times: May 2, 2007)</ref> which maintained the operating certificate. Compass implemented Embraer operations on August 21, 2007.
On July 1, 2010, [[Delta Air Lines]] announced that it sold Compass Airlines to [[Trans States Holdings]] for US$20.5 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2010/07/01/343949/delta-to-sell-mesaba-and-compass-for-82.5-million.html|title=Delta to sell Mesaba and Compass for $82.5 million|publisher=Flightglobal.com|date=1 July 2010|access-date=1 July 2010}}</ref> Despite the change in ownership, Compass still shared many things with its former parents, including being headquartered in a Delta-owned building, and a logo that was a modified version of the final Northwest Airlines logo.
On March 27, 2015, the airline began flying one of twenty brand new [[Embraer E-175]], operating for [[American Airlines]] under the [[American Eagle (airline brand)|American Eagle]] brand, with the initial flight being from [[Los Angeles International Airport]] to [[Houston Intercontinental Airport]].
In August 2019, Delta Air Lines made the decision to reduce the number of regional carriers that fly under the Delta Connection brand and terminated its agreement for regional flying with Compass Airlines.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://aeronauticsonline.com/delta-ends-contracts-with-compass-and-gojet/|title=Delta Ends Contracts with Compass and GoJet – Aeronautics|access-date=Nov 4, 2019}}</ref> This resulted in the removal of 36 aircraft from the airline and reduced the number of aircraft flying for Compass Airlines from 56 to 20 by June 2020.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/delta-to-terminate-compass-and-godet-partnerships-am-460128/|title=Delta to terminate Compass and GoJet partnerships|last=Hemmerdinger|first=Jon|date=2019-08-06|website=Flightglobal.com|language=en-GB|access-date=2019-09-05}}</ref> This schedule was later accelerated to remove all Delta-owned Embraer E175s from the Compass operation by April 1, 2020.

Compass had maintenance bases in Phoenix, San Jose, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle/Tacoma prior to its closure.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.compassairline.com/careers/Pages/Maintenance.aspx|title=Compass Airlines - Maintenance|work=compassairline.com|date=2016|access-date=January 8, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170109113442/http://www.compassairline.com/careers/Pages/Maintenance.aspx|archive-date=January 9, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>
In January 2020, Compass announced that it would be closing its Phoenix crew base. The following month, the airline announced in a memo to employees that its Seattle-Tacoma crew base would also be closing.
In March 2020, due to the reduction in demand in response to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], Compass announced it would cease operations on April 7.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/19/coronavirus-prompts-us-regional-us-airline-compass-to-shut.html|title=Regional US airline Compass shutting down as coronavirus presents 'insurmountable obstacles'|first=Leslie|last=Josephs|date=March 19, 2020|website=CNBC}}</ref> The final revenue flight operated by Compass was American Eagle Flight 6047 from [[Tulsa International Airport|Tulsa, Oklahoma]] to [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles, California]] on April 5, 2020.
The airline had originally planned to be acquired by [[Breeze Airways]]. The acquisition was later canceled.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-08-19|title=Breeze Airways again changes its debut plans|url=https://www.airway1.com/breeze-airways-again-changes-its-debut-plans/|access-date=2020-08-29|website=Airway|language=en-US}}</ref>
