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.
Then I suppose those doing the hiring at Compass lied right to my face when they told me those numbers. I can't say there have been 0 CFIs hired because that would be ignorant. However the statement I was originally responding to is flawed logic. Now, if 98% of the new hires at Compass, Slywest, or any other carrier were CFIs and this was their first 121 carrier then I would retract my statement. But the fact remains that CFIs hired in to the pool are very very rare.
