Wait, didn't you also say that people have to pay their dues? I dare say that if you looked at the total compensation one would get from Compass over a 5-7 year period, assuming a less than three year upgrade due to the flows, one is going to come out far ahead of a lot of other regionals.
On a similar note, first year pay at UPS is $33. Would you refuse to go their on principal as well?
Pretty sure if he goes to SkyWest on the Bro that he'll never see JFK or ORD. Shure, he'll be poor the first year, but their second year pay is decent.
I really can't be bothered with these arguments but I have some time so what the hell.
1) A flow isn't the only way to get to fly for a legacy, and not everyone wants to fly for Delta. What good is a Delta flow if your dream is to fly for FedEx?
2) Yes people have to pay their dues, but someone with prior 121 or 135 likely already has.
3) Comparing Compass to UPS is like comparing Mcdonalds to Ruths Chris Steak House.
Of course you would put up with low first year pay if you were hired at your ultimate career destination, which Compass isn't.
4) IF, he goes to SkyWest, AND he gets the Bro he MIGHT be able to hold SFO. It dangerous to assume the best case scenario in this business.
