Long call will go into its trial phase in December. Not sure what all the specifics are yet, but I would assume around a 12 hour call out. There is also a limit per the LOA of being switched to short call. I believe it was no more than 6 days a month.

Just saw the upgrade training sheet. About 250 upgrades planned through November, about 250 FO's on property right now. I think it's safe to say anyone starting class in November onwards will not be upgrading by years end 2015. Maybe mid 2016? Just a WAG.

A couple things from the past week talking to the union and Chief pilot.
The delivery schedule for AA has been ramped up to 3 per month. Deliveries will be done by the end of summer. They're trying to impress AA so they can win another 10-20 airframes. Apparently they've been sold on additional airframes if compass is a reliable partner for AA. AA also wants the planes in the sky asap...
The company is actually advocating for a continued flow. They want at least the preferential interview... Keeps their longevity low and profit up. Specifically, their interview process staying with the delta style process and not watering it down like some other regionals was cited.
A year ago, applicants were only flight instructors because nobody thought they would have such movement there. Those guys don't have 1,000 hours sic yet. They spoke about the possibility of having street captains if hiring from previous 121 slows. If compass gets another 10-20 airframes, it'll be explosive.

I was denied the ability to list a non-rev or the flight deck jump seat by an AA gate agent at VPS yesterday. I called the AA non-rev line and they said to go to MyID Travel and list for the flight there. Can anyone who knows what they are talking about please tell me what an individual's user ID would be, or who to contact at Compass HQ to get me signed up for MyId Travel. I have listed for AA flights with many gate agents before and have never been denied at the gate.
