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.
Thanks for the words of wisdom. I do have apps out and interviews lined up. Have greatly enjoyed my short time here as well and will be riding this baby til it dies most likely. I am more concerned than panicked I suppose. Whatever the future has it's out of my hands so just going with the flow! Fingers crossed for something coming thru the pipeline.
