Thanks
It's a great company to work for. Most, if not all of the pilots are genuinely happy to be here which makes a huge difference all across the board. I have yet to hear complaints from anyone I've flown with.
The company is growing and things are moving pretty fast. There's an "open door" policy with management and they're willing to listen and improve on any concerns. Everyone is willing to help you out when you're new making you feel very welcome.
Our performance is not top notch right now but it's mostly due to things that are out of our control, most of it having to do with the construction going on at LAX.
Things may start slowing down with hiring next year but Compass is known for having an unusual amount of movement at the top, more so than the average regional, so upgrades should still occur at or below industry time frames.
