How many months is short call for new FOs?
Hi! I’m interested in applying to Compass this month. 2 questions:
1. For how many months can a new FO expect to be on short call/2 hr call out? Does this vary by domicile?
2. I currently have 1225 hours and am not eligible for my ATP til 1500- will Compass interview when 3-4 months out from having enough time?
Thanks for any insight you can provide!

I can add to that, finished IOE in early March, sat one month of reserve (short call) which most of the time I wound up on trips anyways. Then went right to a line.
Good luck and welcome aboard!
