In all honesty, I would be happy if they just came out and said “guys we effed up. Sorry but bear with us.” They can’t and won’t do that and we pay the consequences. Just like the “IOCC transition was great.” In reality, it wasn’t.

Yeah, seriously. Also, none of us put "blind trust" in management, we called them stupid for 6 months while they stopped hiring. We knew this would be the consequence. To their credit they have figured it out and it's certainly amongst the top paying west coast regionals right now with something unique to offer, the quick upgrade. Because of the freeze, it's unlikely that we will run out of 1000 hour guys, but if we do, street captains will attract even more new hire FO's, honestly. Sure, our management team isn't that bright. Neither is the one at OO, or QX...
You don't seem to be able to handle us telling you that no, there's no way the upgrade time at Compass goes up to 4 years. That's insane. You're taking one little piece of information like "they slowed upgrades to 8 a month temporarily for FO staffing" and are trying to interpolate to the way wrong conclusion.

Actually OO management is brilliant. It's our voting populace that lacks IQ.

It’s okay at least y’all got a vote. We were just assigned an agreement, no input from us. And we are unionized.

Pay negotiations have just started here again. I'm not optimistic.

Can't take issue with a single thing you said.

So who are YOU? The board monitor? In charge of who can and cannot express an opinion on a public bulletin board? You been posting here for ...what? Nine years? You a Compass lifer or management or what, that you think you can be the arbiter of who is worthy to post their opinion?

We get it, man, our management did stupid... But what are they suppose to do? You aren't offering any suggestions except "you going to keep putting faith in your management?"
My issue was that I think the Compass management is making a mistake throttling back on captain upgrades. Nor am I the only one with that opinion, as evidenced by others posting on this and another thread. What shade I threw - to the extent I did - was in direct response to statements by others. Others who I did nothing to disparage until they started it.
If they can't take it, maybe they shouldn't dish it out.


If you want to come work here, (if you don't) then come work here. If you are STILL this hung up on these things, maybe another company would be a better fit.
Gee, doesn't that sound just a little bit elementary school playground 'gonna take my ball and go home' puerile? Especially since it isn't your playground? Or your ball?


I gave an opinion here. I did not pick any fights with anyone. Anyone who doesn't care to read this or any any of my postings is totally free to ignore them. Anybody that wants to respond to them, even to respectfully rebut them, I'm more than willing to listen and maybe even learn something in the process. Anyone who disrespectfully rebuts them, or turns to personal insults, will likely prove they can lower me to their level of discourse quite quickly.

I never claimed or aspired to sainthood.
