Does anyone know if Compass is running an April FO class? How many? Is there a pool or are they still running interviews?

When they called me for the interview I had the choice of March 10th or the week after. With a 30 day home training course after that the real training would start in April.

To answer your hiring question, I spoke with the MSP chief pilot last week. He informed me that they are hiring about 25-30 pilots. Looking for people with ATP mins, multi time is reduced to 500 not the 1000 as previously required.
Also, spoke with a person from the training department, and was informed that Compass will hire 40-45 over the next 12 months and about 40 upgrades.

Attrition, I assume. Unless oil prices really go through the roof (a possibility given recent events in the middle east) it is expected that Delta will run a few classes towards the end of the year, with 20 Compass ppl taken per month. In addition, we've been losing a few people every month to other airlines & jobs outside the airlines.

There are some rumors going around of new aircraft, in particular 6-10 EMB170s currently owned by Virgin Blue in Australia. I very much doubt they're coming here.

Just talked to MSP CP and he told me that they are planning for five classes, but might as many as eight.

Any chance of a source on this, or just rumor?

Wow. What is the staffing model used at CZ? Is it by block hours or airframe?
