I understand it hurts your MIL buddies ( and myself/many others) but it is what it is. Please keep in mind too it's not their fault, Management came up with the agreements. I have heard alot of stories of guys acting bitter towards flows because " they took their MIL buddies spot". Don't be that guy.
um...no. thats deceptive. I'm not saying they are not good pilots or good people but the expectation and criteria for MOST of those flows was no were near the same as in the mainline Delta or NWA interview. Yes some of the first pilots to Compass were high time but quickly it became low time and CFI's being interviewed. If you think for a minute that the thumbs up criteria for them to compass and the current interview at Delta is the same you are kidding yourself. Again, they might just be fine pilots but....different panel expectations. Again most in the panel were low time regional fo's and cfi's verses very experienced mil pilots and regional/national rj captains at the mainline interview with many more years under thier belt to screw up, explain and share.
