Any hints/tips/ideas on getting the hat in the ring. AirlineApps is constantly updated. ATP Written is completed. 4 year degree in Biology. 1650 TT. 600+ ME. 500+ turbine. Currently flying corporate Part 135 in a Citation. Cant seem to get the call...

Have been interviewed and offered by another airlines of TSH, but really like Compass. Any help is appreciated...

Put your resume directly in the hands of a recruiter, attending a job fair would be my recommendation.

HR stuff....pass benefits, drug policy, and general HR paperwork. The training dept then comes in and talks about what you need to do and how to access the study material.

I have an interview with Compass this coming week. Also it seems that Compass is now starting to hire RATP qualified pilots (as that's what I am) Any last minute advice?

I've been reading all the gouges online at sites like willflyforfood and aviationinterviews.com

Honestly, I'm stressing about the computer knowledge test (I'm a flight instructor with no turbine experience). I have been reading everything explained for the professional pilot, and the turbine pilot's flight manual, as well as practicing the delta test sheppard air questions. I just want to pass the battery of tests and get my chance at the panel interview so I can explain why I want to be a part of the Compass team.

Any advice or words of wisdom are greatly appreciated!

Make sure you know all the descent rules of thumb for ground speed and also Mach number, how to calculate crosswinds and which engine is the worst to have fail in a crosswind, sequence of starting and what to look for. Don't forget about the cognitive test, because people have failed it. Do the free version of lumosity, some people say it doesn't do anything but after doing it for a few weeks every day I sure noticed a difference.

I used the Delta gouge and also looked at Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators. Luminosity works well to prepare you for the cog test. Good luck!

Are people being hired here with restricted ATPs and less than 1500hrs?
One of the adjustments to the CBA through the LOA referenced the FOM and hiring minimums but didn't specify min requirements for an interview... Mr. Mustache you know anything?
