We haven't started a "don't come here" thread yet knock on wood! I think people at compass are very driven and oriented toward getting the time and getting out. Lots of hard workers here doing the grind and getting the time and having a blast together along the way. When I was hired and heading home from the interview I ran into a line pilot and asked him if he still likes compass. And he said "it's a good place to hang your hat." I think that's still true even after all the changes since 2014-15.

You just have to make sure that what you are looking for is a west coast base out of training with a chance to upgrade without going east. That's basically our niche. I think we'll survive this year to see even Week become a super senior captain at Compass unless hopefully his #1 calls first.

The best thing we always say about compass is the crews, so be cool if you come here.. Because we all like working together here and a lot of people become friends while they're here. Also, keep our forums chill too. It's a small thing but nice that we have a laid back atmosphere in these forums that is even more true on the line..
