Compass Prez to Comair

Compass President John Bendoraitis was tapped to succeed John Selvaggio as president of Comair, a wholly owned Delta Connection. Selvaggio returns to retirement from which he was plucked a year ago to foster the airline while Delta changed its Delta Connection strategy away from 50-seat regional jets in favor of the larger jets now flown at Comair.
A 25-year industry veteran, Bendoraitis most recently served as president of Compass Airlines, a Northwest Airlink partner. Prior to leading Compass, he served as vice president of Base Maintenance for Northwest where he oversaw the carrier’s airframe, engine and component maintenance. Bendoraitis began his career as a maintenance technician and technical instructor at Northwest in 1984.
