- Is Compass not hiring pilots with restricted ATP qualifications? The Compass hiring page says the following: "In possession of, or eligible to hold, an unrestricted US multi-engine ATP certificate."

I'm building time quickly towards ATP mins, however I don't expect to reach the 500 hours of cross country for the unrestricted ATP. 200+ hrs cross country for the restricted will be no problem for me.

- Skimming through the last few pages, I'm not sure if I've read comments correctly, but is LAX going to be a junior/easily attainable base for new hires? I live in PHX and would love to be close to home if Compass were in the cards for me.

Thanks for the replies.
