As far as working for Compass. I thought it was a great job, nice but not great aircraft, ok overnights, great co-workers but absolutly horrible pay. When I got in I was excited that in less than 24 months I would be a Captain and then I could bypass the flow and have super senority. I soon realized it was going to be much longer than 24 months to upgrade due to the lack of flow to Delta. I was holding out hope for a while that Compass would expand into other liveries but in talking with MGT it doesn't seem like that will happen. Like I said, great people to work with, very experienced pilot group but the pay is just unbearable. I went to another airline, got furloughed and now am out of aviation all together. Good luck in your search! One more thing, there are a lot of jerkoffs at NWA/DAL who will treat you like crap when you try to jumpseat.
