Compass - in-house training or flight safety
Is compass in-house training or contracted to flight safety.
I also heard rumor is compass training is your on your own and all self study. For those in training Correct me if I am wrong. Intital first hire pass ratio doesn’t look good

It’s in house training. You go to orientation day then head home for two weeks to work on CBT’s.
Then return for two weeks of 8-4:30 classroom. After that it’s shorter days of Flight Procedure trainers (think touch screen computer based simulator). Followed by full motion sims.
You are taught a ton of info and expected to study after class everyday. No different than any other 121 training.

The sims in STL are rented from FlightSafety, but it's all CP instructors doing the instruction and checking. Our instructor group used to be mostly seniority list active pilots, but many have gone back to the line to get their turbine PIC so they can leave.
CP's training program was designed for people with prior airline experience. The systems portion is basically self study via the CBTs, and systems class itself is review/ask questions. It has not changed much from what I've heard, so now with the typical new hire profile no longer being refugees from other regionals, there's naturally been an uptick in people needing more training. It helps to get instrument proficient (not just current) before starting, and if you have a good attitude and put in the work, you'll make it through.

No because it changes so much.
The first month is pretty set. Orientation day 1. Then two weeks home doing CBTs. Then back for Monday through Friday for two weeks. Then it gets complicated with FPT’s and Sims.
But that gives you an idea.
