And yes Compass is just another regional, even if you might have a flow through down the road. I can just imagine the fat yokels in the HR that probably have never even been to community college going through college grad resumes to pick who gets 19000 per year.
I don't think that requiring a 4 year degree at Compass is an insult, because they have a flow-through to Delta which DOES require a 4 year degree. If Colgan required a 4 year college degree, it would be a different thing.
But times have changed... with hundreds, if not thousands of qualified pilots looking for a job now, a 4 year degree is probably just another way to filter out pilots that Compass (and/OR Delta/NW) doesn't want.
