You totally missed my point. You are always in a rush to defend any and everything about Compass, both just and unjust. You are so blinded by the fact that this regional is slightly better than your last 2 or three regional that you go as far and defend the same injustices that was and done to you at you last company. I was making the point that Compass is the worst for new hires due to the fact that you have to do a full 30 days of ground school for 18.5 hours of pay at $23.67 per hour. You totally missed the point that new hires are required to pay for their own housing due to the fact that they company is making all new hires MPS based to avoid hotel cost and and soon as they are done they go straight to DTW or MEM.

I understand that for you, you experience at Compass has been more than pleasant becasue you probably came in straight to a CA spot or was awared a CA spot in 6 months or less, but you need to come back to reality. For you to come on here and paint this pretty picture of Compass, you are doing an great deal injustice to those that are not in the know. That is one of thr problem eith this industry and the the state that it is in now. The guys that came before you telling you how awesome everthing is and then you found out the truth for yourself. I'm sure when you were are Comair, Skyway, and Elsewhere you were the bottom and say the Company for what it really is. You built up the courage to leave for whatever reason but Im sure if someone senior to you at the time defended all the flaws of Comair, Skyway and Wherever then you would think to yourself, "man this guy is out of touch." You have become that senior captain you despised for allowing the injustice to continue, at least that's how I see it..

I'm not saying you have to be negative all the time but just tell it like it is. Tell the truth. There are more flaws at Compass than all of us would like to see, but dont paint this picture that everything is ok and the things that are'nt then you shouldn't expect it to be any better because you are at a regional. By the trend of your post on this site and on Compasspilot, I can tell you are going to miss the point of this message. No one could ever say something bad about you little baby Compass, Oberon to the rescue...This isnt a personal attack, just pointing out the fact that you defend any and everything about Compass. Both Just and Unjust. Show some justice for once
