Put apps out. You now have a type rating and a proven record of 121 flying. You are a far more marketable commodity today than you were a year ago. Line up a class somewhere else you’d like to work three to six months out. Ride THIS horse as long as it is going in a direction you want to go and if it stops contributing to your career progression - bail.

If you can wait out a year from hire you can transfer longevity for pay purpose to OO or a couple of other regionals. But even if you can’t, your ATP, type-rating, and the 121 hours you have flown will go with you, they don’t evaporate.

If you can make it to 950 121 SIC you can be a DEC at several places with large bonuses on day one. If not you can still get signing bonuses and a type-rating bonus.

Compass has been good and I’ve enjoyed it and if they can come up with more flying to replace the Delta flying I’d be glad to stay here awhile longer, but it never was my career destination.

Panic mode isn’t helpful. Start researching and applying to your other options.
