I was at compass a few years ago, and I left. I kept wondering if it was the right decision as I now would be close to an upgrade. No regrets now, and it reaffirms my belief, or lack thereof, in any future or promises with any regionals. They promise the world to put asses in seats and get guys and gals to work at slavery wages, but when time comes to deliver on promises they find a way out. The amazing part is that there is never a shortage of pilots taking the bait.
Good luck to all, including many friends that are still there. I have worked for 4 airlines and each time I switched it was for the best. Having said that, Compass has the best group of guys and girls in the flight deck and the Cabin. I really enjoyed and miss working with them. I wish you guys the best.
