I just checked the Compass hiring website, & it indeed no longer shows the hiring bonus. That's just a bit disconcerting. Hopefully management will shed some light as to why in the near future.

On a side note, I just noticed that the Facebook page posted on Oct. 3rd, that Compass Pilots are now "guaranteed application reviews by Delta's hiring team."

Is that maybe related to them pulling the bonus? I don't really see the logic as to why one would preclude the other though...

That's not a Compass thing. Delta is offering "app reviews" for all their DCA carriers so we don't get too mad that they'll be hiring college kids direct to Delta planes in a few years.

Supply and demand.
But still offering $10k for referrals. Weird.

Management is saving up for the big MEC grievance payout.

Default Yet all the pop up ads on APC...

still show the $17.5K bonus. If that's not the case, it would seem like false advertising.


RCW 9.04.050

False, misleading, deceptive advertising.

It shall be unlawful for any person to publish, disseminate or display, or cause directly or indirectly, to be published, disseminated or displayed in any manner or by any means, including solicitation or dissemination by mail, telephone, electronic communication, or door-to-door contacts, any false, deceptive or misleading advertising, with knowledge of the facts which render the advertising false, deceptive or misleading, for any business, trade or commercial purpose or for the purpose of inducing, or which is likely to induce, directly or indirectly, the public to purchase, consume, lease, dispose of, utilize or sell any property or service, or to enter into any obligation or transaction relating thereto?
If they aren't going to honor those ads, they need to take them down - promptly.

And also revise the Profile Quicktake on APC:

Pilot referral bonus of up to $10,000 per pilot.

$17,500 bonus to all pilots hired after 9/1/2017.

-$7,500 after completion of IOE

-$2,500 after nine months

-$7,500 after twelve month

Seems like they have plenty of apps, so I imagine there’s just no need for the bonus. I’m just a CFI but what this tells me is that if you’re a prospective regional FO who wants to stay in PHX or SoCal, there quite simply is no pilot shortage. At least as far as you’re concerned.

It’s definitely a pay shortage. That being said, the next decade is going to be tough on the regionals with the amount of hiring legacies and now better paying LCCs will be doing. I think they need 18,000 pilots in the next 10 years. That’s still a significant number.
