And yet TSH hasn't thought to do a cadet program at Compass.
There are some simple improvements that can be made to help recruit pilots, like offering them travel benefits before they meet the hour requirements. But if you're paying near bottom of the barrel, travel won't be enough to distract someone from wanting to pay bills and debt from school.
Of course your CFI friend is excited about his "75k," even if it's not the full 75, its more than he'd make at Compass.
