That means that only 60 pilots like you and I have been hired this year. Talk about pretty tough odds and fierce competition. It will just be a matter of time until they get through the military and flow guys. Compass is down to around 167 pilots left with flow and the SSP for endeavor should start winding down as well. I was told about 40% of the 8000 applicants are military so that could take awhile to get through.

I have a couple of buddies that have been called that weren't flow and weren't military and they all had a high GPA. I think that a lot of guys have a lot of hours and a lot of TPIC so the only qualifying difference to go off of is a GPA, school, time in school and degree.
I think the SSP numbers are suppose to go up in the future, depending on how it plays out. Originally it was "the lesser number of . .":

-"1/3 of all available positions" OR
-15 in 2017, 20 in 2018 and beyond

The EtD boosted those numbers to 35% or 300 in a year, whichever is less. Who knows when/how the program will end.
