If your prior airline didn't take you out of CASS and you didn't turn in your ID, don't you technically still have CASS for an airline you no longer work for...

Do new-hires have to share hotel rooms during training?

This proves nothing other than the vast majority of the new hires are sick of their old airlines and find themselves either about to get furloughed or don't see upgrades for another decade (that's after being stuck as an FO for the last 4-7 years at previous carriers).
You can restate your post when 100% of the new hires are CFIs right out of teaching at flight schools and FBOs. What's happening now is just a shift...not a new generation of pilots.

Don't forget that the lack of CFIs in hiring classes is mostly due to the new ATP requirement. The ones with higher time were picked up before mins started going up while the others have been chasing the rising mins. Those that were chasing are finally reaching ATP mins.
BTW CPZ has always had mins at or above ATP mins

Lab Rats point was that there is still a perpetual amount of pilots willing to accept awful compensation and work rules at regionals like Compass. What other profession would you not be provided a hotel during training? IMHO the only thing going for Compass is the quick attrition. The contract is not great at all. Trans States Holdings is running the game. I have little hope for any improvements in the next contract. 75% of the pilot group will be at Delta soon anyways, why would they care about fighting for a industry leading contract?
