You don't need the upgrade, and by the time you upgrade at Compass, you'll probably already have gotten a date at a legacy. You just need some recent experience. And don't forget to network.

Just remember this every time you want to off yourself rolling down 27L in phl for your 2 hour flight to msp a day early to start a trip. You won't need pic to get hired at a major.

95% guaranteed.. If not out of training, within a month.
One of our new-ish guys was VF101 and VFA203 before he flew a desk.

So in an ALPA email, the ARW MEC has teamed with FAPA.aero to help AWAC pilots plan for their careers beyond AWAC. Just to stir the rumor pot a bit, do you think this has anything to do with AWAC feeling a bit guilty for putting 850+ pilots on the streets when they close their doors?
ARW MEC PROVIDES CAREER ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR ITS PILOTS
Many ARW pilots are considering their aviation career beyond Air Wisconsin Airlines Corporation. Working closely with ALPA’s Fee-for-Departure Committee and large jet (mainline) MECs and hiring departments, the ARW MEC looked at the priorities at pilot interviews and sought ways to help their pilots hone their job search skills.
In order to assist in advancing the career goals of ARW pilots, the ARW MEC has partnered with FAPA.aero to offer all ARW pilots on property and incoming new-hire pilots a free two-year FAPA.aero Basic Membership, which provides job-hunting and career decision assistance. Also as part of the package, the ARW MEC is conducting three identical FAPA.aero Pilot Career & Interview Skills Workshops exclusively for ARW pilots in November in Philadelphia.
