Yeah I guess things are a little different when you're hired as an instant CA. I'm glad they're hiring experienced guys. I know the industry is in the crapper but what is the incentive at Compass? The Flowthru? It ain't the pay or the upgrade time. Are some guys that desperate to stay in a cockpit. I went thru the regional ranks also and it was hard enough the first time without the house and kids. Maybe it's just me but I would rather do something else than fly an aircraft dang near the equivalent of a DC9 for $24.00/hr.
