The pilots I’ve flown with so far have been great. There’s lots young people here. You will fly a 23 or 24yr old captain at some point. When I started, I thought that would be a negative, but actually the younger pilots are some of the best. Everyone seems to want to move on and forward. Every once in a while you get a lame crew that doesn’t want to do anything on a layover, but for the most part it’s a really fun culture with lots of good people. There’s always going to be things to complain about, but so far I’ve been happy here.

Full disclosure: I am a "younger captain" now, so maybe I'll see you around on the line! Double Compass wave!

Alright guys, finally did it. I pulled the trigger and applied this morning to Compass. Now, the waiting. Hoping to get a call here soon and start the next chapter in my flying career. If made an offer, hoping for LAX and Guard bum on the side for extra cash.
