Best way it has been explained, by numerous trainers, is Compass started up and got pilots from other regionals. They were already airline pilots and simply needed to learn to fly the Compass way. So their training program revolves around that strategy and not taking someone from zero regional time to becoming an airline pilot. You really do need to do a lot of studying and learning on your own, before that subject is "taught" in class.

I'd come here again, just be prepared coming in to class. I do think some training events really need more time and rumor is they are changing some things based on training trends. Hopefully will be a little better for those that have no 121 experience.
