Hey there westcoasters, wondering what the "street captain" chances are after the summer FO shortage everyone is about to experience subsides. Currently at a good company but not too interested in a commute to the east coast so thinking of heading on over to Compass to be out west for an upgrade.

I've read around and it seems pretty grim EVERYWHERE for this summers staffing but if I'm gonna be working max block and min days off (I've gotten 11 days off every month since Nov of 17) I'd at least like to be out west close to friends and family. I'm about 140 hours away from the 1000 121 and at my current employer its basically an open upgrade to anyone with the time. We aren't advertising street captains just yet but if you come and have the time, they'll finish FO school and put you right into Cap training.

Any idea if this will be happening at Compass come later this year? I've heard from a handful of friends at Compass that they're currently throttling upgrades to keep the right seat staffed but wondering just how sustainable that is and for how long you all think it could last.

I wish my Surface had a crystal ball app... oh and I wish it worked
