Just finished an interview with TSA. Flew to St. Louis. (I know, this is a Compass forum and Compass is still my first choice!) I came with an open mind. They made a good pitch and the interview was VERY comfortable. I’ve been working hard to finish my qualifications and it’s really exciting to get my first job offer since deciding to make the career change. Enjoying a beer in the airport bar (albeit a masked Budweiser made to taste like IPA).

Nice work!

Now compass get off your rear and interview this guy before he goes somewhere else!

Hope you can advocate for the rest of us here too!

Working on it!

Seems like there is some other force in play. Maybe all the recruiters have been on a team building retreat in Maui! Ha. In any case, it must be a good feeling for them to know there is a line at the door.

Done.
 

I happened to be hanging around the southwest side of Indianapolis airport over the past few days. I can confirm the presence of snack baskets, but no crazy arms were waved.

If we get bought by Republic, we're bringin the Compass wave with us, hope they know that!

The legendary wave. Some say every time you do it, an OO pilot gets his wings.

This thread is eye opening. Thanks. I'm sitting on offers from two regionals but prefer Compass. However, I can't get them to reply to my app or my emails. I am higher time, former 121 returning after a stint elsewhere. Multiple jet types, captain qualified, and just silence. So, although I don't want to, this thread seems to suggest I'll have to wait til early next year to start if I ever get called, and I want to get back in the 121 world asap so at least now I know I should give up and take one of the other offers.

Bums me out. Compass would be perfect for me. :(

It’s a bummer but CPZ is just so desirable for all the west coasters.

I’ve been told by recruiting that classes are full for 2018 and have to wait till they get the schedule for 2019 until they can interview more people.

Unknown when the 2019 schedule will come available.
