The sound of crickets. No status change. They are in a good position to be flush with apps. A couple of people have reported TBNT but having heard any reports of anyone getting an interview scheduled.

I got a voicemail from recruiting a few weeks back and scheduled an interview later this month after a quick Q and A screening over the phone. I was told class date would be January at the earliest, more likely February. From what I hear they are being very selective right now.

It was probably two months of silence from when I sent my app in to getting the phone call, if that helps at all.

Applied around July 4th, didn't hear anything. Sent a follow-up email a week later, again nothing. Pestered recruiting again last week and got the "thanks we are reviewing all applications and if you are competitive we will reach out to setup a formal interview." Unfortunately, it looks like CPZ won't work out as I have two other offers that start the first part of October.

I was encouraged to actually get a reply from recruiting. So for those still hanging on, or if you have more time to wait than I do - good luck! And when I see you giving me the CPZ wave, I will smile to myself and always think of what could have been! Blue skies, ya'll!

I got the call for an interview a few weeks ago, about 2 months after applying and no contact. Called back, went through a quick screening of “how do you like what you are doing now” “why Compass” etc. I was told start date for training would be January at the earliest, more likely February.

So just wanted to say there is some hope, and anyone trying to get to Compass should apply earlier rather than later.

Congrats Westfalia, and welcome.
 

Sorry for the upgrade inspired logjam but as I predicted back in March,

https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/c...h-do-math.html

throttling back captain upgrades because we were so short of FOs was going to inevitably lead to a captain shortage which is sort of where we are now. Now the good news is that that means shorter upgrade times, but the bad news is that there is a systemwide shortage of E-175 sims and the captain upgrade sims are increasing the difficulty of clearing the training backlog for new hires.

But it appears CJOs are starting to again go out. I would SUGGEST that those who haven't heard from recruiting in a while give them a phone call with a gentle nudge to let them know you are stil interested and an update on any flying hours you've logged since your initial app.

Good luck all.

What's the best way to get a hold of a recruiter? Is there a generic email or phone number for the office so I can avoid digging for it? Just want to pass it on to a friend.

In order to let them know I'm still VERY interested, my offer still stands to wash cars in the MSP headquarters parking lot in the dead of the MSP winter (or whenever training happens). Ha! All the while, ambiance music will be provided by Peter and The Pan Flute Band featuring TheJetPilot on lead guitar and me on bass. Meal could be provided if BLS air drops some Snack Basket reject items.

Just heard from a friend that Compass stopped hiring. So he applied somewhere else.

That is worth a shot. My way of emailing weekly and having someone with a September class date drop their class and give them my name sure didn't work. Creativity definitely counts for something.

From what we’ve been told, it’s not that we’ve stopped hiring but that we have our classes full until January. If that’s their code for a hiring freeze then well done on making us think we’ve got a lot of people in the pipeline.


Unless you’re trying to stir some pot....
