Give it another 6 months and Compass will be grateful to get apps from anyone who meets ATP mins, just like all the other regionals.
That is false, they have hired a few instructors recently I've heard. The flow will happen again in 6 months with the need for 150-180 pilots like this year all over again, and people like quick movement. I am sure there will be plenty of apps, if what you say is true about only 121/135 guys , there are probably PLENTY of flight instructor/GA only people applying that haven't been looked at yet. I don't see an applicant shortage but I have no way of knowing that. Also OP Compass doesn't have a San Fran base so you would still be commuting to LAX.
