If I am considering going back to the regionals with 750 hours of existing Part-121 credit hours and just need 250 to hit that 1000-hour mark (i.e. looking to upgrade in less than six months)...where is the best place to go?
I have heard of several direct entry CA outfits, but not really looking to go to the left seat at the expense of working for a "less than desirable" company. Also, since I don't yet have the 1000 hours of Part-121 then direct entry CA is probably not an option. Pretty much willing to live anywhere in the country.
I have heard that Compass has a pretty quick upgrade. SkyWest and Endeavor look like good companies also, however they appear to have upgrades in the 3-4 year range. Any others to consider?
Compass is planning to "upgrade 24 Captains per month indefinitely", not sure how long it would take someone hired today to be able to hold it, but for now its definitely a shorter upgrade compared to SKW or Endeavor
