Word is (or rather, rumor) there is no reserve pilots in LAX. So maybe the shortage of applicants will help with the shortage of checkairmen. But there is a good chance those waiting IOE will get delayed I think...

Haha, yeah... no they arent going to other regional as check airmen, haha. That wouldn't be a lateral move...

The interview is really not that hard... I mean, it "shouldnt be".
I thought it was a little challenging at the most. Honestly just one of most thorough of the ones Iv been through. Im glad it was thorough. It shows they take the hiring process and training seriously, and professionally. Had compass been a phone call interview and a job offer, or the 4 months republic played phone tag with me, I doubt I would have accepted. Coming from the corporate world(not just flying, but business jobs too), seeing the employers organization and professionalism first hand in the interview process is very much an insight to what you will see as an employee.

on another note....
I know this is a bit blunt... but if someone cant pass any of those computer tests, Im glad I wont be flying with them and glad they wont be responsible for me or any other passengers. So should you.
Got to weed em out somehow...
Agreed. Would much rather have some higher standard such as the testing. By not simply hiring every guy with 121 and holding the testing standard, compass is upholding the idea that quality isn't necessarily just quantity of hours. Cant get hired just because you can check the 121 box.
