Certainly a tough call. To be honest with you i don't see anybody hired today being a captain before march of 08. Compass just won't have the aircraft on property to justify having 100 captains being paid. I guess you have to take into account what QOL issues you would prefer. I believe the first 20 aircraft will be based out of mMSP... the next 16 aircraft may be evenly split amongst a MEM and DET base. The company will be going to prefential bidding... I really do not know what to expect out of PFB, whether the lines will be commutable etc. My guess is they are going to fly us a great deal with many longer haul flights, which might translate to more monthly days off (ie hitting max block hours before reaching your min day off ceiling) I personally expect at least 15 days off per month but i will be pretty senior as well top... 35. Another thing to consider is the airplane. I love this plane, previously i flew a CRJ and this plane is so much nicer to fly then the CRJ-200... anybody hired to fly the E175 will not be dissappointed in its performance and automation.
