For all you current Compass guys, (especially new hires), how long does it typically take to hear back after applying? I'm a corporate guy just shy of 3000hrs, over 1000 of that being TPIC and an ATP. Does not being 121 hurt my chances of even getting a call back? I've heard Compass doesn't stray far from airline guys, and that if you're not 121, you'll just be skipped right over.

I just applied two days ago on airlineapps, so I'm wondering how long I should expect to wait to hear anything
It depends.

It took me around six months to hear back and get an interview scheduled. I'm a 135 freight guy with a couple of recommendations. The other guy who was in my interview group was a 91/135 jet guy.

My class is about half 121, half 135, plus one mil-tanker driver.

The class ahead of us has some 135 guys, at least one ex-military, 121 folks and, I think, a guy coming directly from a flight instructor background.

I wouldn't sweat it if you haven't heard back in a couple of days. :-)
