I have been offered an interview at Compass. Now I get an e-mail asking if I can move up my interview date.

I just upgraded at AWAC and am happily building PIC time, though not at a rapid rate. That will of course change with further attrition and getting a line eventually.

It seems like a waste of everyone's time to make a jump to Compass at this time.

Given that my career goals are not to end up at Compass, it seems as though it would be sticking it out at AWAC makes more sense and moving up and on when my chosen company really becomes available.

I have heard that things at Compass are not as nice as they were expected, but that it's not bad either and once the dust settles it'll probably be OK.

Plusses

- Upgrade likely within 12 months
- Corresponding good seniority
- Fly in the midwest again
- Bases in the Midwest
- Possible flow-through to NWA

Negatives

- Downgrade to the right seat again
- Go through training again
- Paycut
- Don't live in MSP anymore and don't want to move right now.
- Flow-through agreements have a way of biting people in the @$$ sometimes.


Thoughts?
