Patience, it will be worth it. It cannot be much longer.

If they really do plan on doing 40 a month they will have to hire at least 20 more new check airmen and have them trained by mid october(takes a long time for CP to train check airmen, so maybe that is what they are using August for). All that is assuming they have the Sim availability to train 40 a month.
The company has not really communicated anything to us about their hiring or staffing plans. I'm not sure they even know yet. The longer we go, the further past we the 'too-late' point that we will be.

Met with the recruiters today at the job fair in DFW. Great guys to talk to and really made me want to work for Compass. Lots of good information and sounds very desirable right now with the growth. Freakin' reckless driving charge and those Canadian rules!
