It’s not something the company wants to do, it’s in our contract. The Compass CBA requires new hires to meet all of the eligibility requirements for an ATP certificate. All new hires will complete training with an ATP & an ERJ-170/190 PIC type rating, period.
Compass is hiring because of increased aircraft utilization for June and beyond. Looks like we'll be flying in and out of LGA a lot according to a company email. They are not sure if there will be a base there yet though since they don't have the official time table from DAL yet.
As far as resigning your seniority at another carrier, the official policy is yes. I have heard that many have not been asked to do so, and still have recall rights to other carriers.
