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.

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.

So lame! We lose good people because of these shenanigans. Who cares if we're staffed! (Which we're not) the list moves quick and we're always around the corner from another staffing catastrophe, especially heading into 2019.

We should be like Frank the Tank when it comes to future classes

Having flown at Republic before I came here I can tell you that most there will appreciate the wave. We used to wave at each in and out of the alley at ORD all the time although it was just a simple, one handed wave. To the crew holding short of Tango on Echo today as we made the turn from Tango onto Echo, my apologies for the one handed wave. I was driving but please know that I was waving with both hands in spirit!

This is correct. The recruiters are more focused on other workgroups than pilots right now. I walked out of the CPZ interview and into a group of 10-20 maintenance personnel waiting to enter the room. The pilots hired that day were given training classes in January/February 2019.

I feel like you do, CPZ would've been best for me too. But on the bright side I might be out of IOE in time to fly the CPZ guys that did get the job to MSP.

Someday technology will evolve and allow the two handed waves....someday.
