Here is my progress:

I have all ATP mins, college degree with good gpa, everything up to date on airline apps.

Applied last Friday, no response yet. Fingers crossed, I'd be very excited to work for them.

If you have issues getting a response email the pilot recruitment email on the website and introduce yourself. That’s what I did and got a response pretty quick when I was hired.

Welcome! I know 1440 should feel close but it still seems so far away. I’m sure I’ll feel a lot closer once the check ride is behind me. Nonetheless, I’ve been having a great time flying my a$$ off lately. :)

I started flying as a hobby in the mid 90's and went through instrument and multi-commercial thinking that I might undertake a career change someday. Now I'm in my late 40's and thinking that if I ever want to experience the airline pilot life for myself, the window is closing. You only live once and all that.

I have 950 hours total with the other ATP requirements are met. I'm not R-ATP eligible so I'm working towards 1500 TT. My day job is largely contract based and the work is slowing down, so I've had time to get out and fly a lot lately.

I dream of being a 1440 hour pilot! Those last few hours would go very quickly. Congratulations on being so close!




Keep up the good work guys, soon enough you'll be out on the line with everyone ODing on frosted Oreo's and left over first class meals :cool:

Here’s to being a hopeful. Applied 7/3, no word yet, so still hoping.

I am a CFI in Texas ready to escape the heat, 42C right now! 150 hours to go and building time at roughly 100/month.

The CP forum gets me through the day! Pure greatness! :D

...hoping for word soon!

I wanna say it took a couple weeks for them to get back to me after I put in my app last Mar. I interviewed in April.

it's looking good that i will be getting the r-atp endorsement on my transcripts. Graduated from ERAU pre- r-atp and returning to aviation. Currently working PT135 and will have R-Atp min's in the next 4-6 months. Any insider's know if Compass hires R-Atp?

Also - how is compass different than GoJet and TSA? Since they are all owned by the same holding. Don't need to go into the fiasco/history of GoJet/TSA but curious if Compass was created in the same way.

I am looking at Compass specifically because of the bases reducing my commute time and pay/contract looks better than Skywest. Horizon is on the list but I rather stay PHX area.

Hoping you get a call soon too.

When you say 150 hours to go, are you counting up towards 1500 or 1450? I’m under the impression that a conditional job offer will require you to get to 1450 prior to your class date with the remaining 50 coming in class or leading up to IOE, but I don’t actually know that.

The Compass website says applicants can be R-ATP eligible.

Yup, I should of been more clear -- do they actually hire at R-Atp times?

Thanks! I sent a follow up email to see if my app went through and didn’t even get a response from that. And, Yes, counting up to 1500 - only 150 more to go. I’ve heard most regionals want 1475, with some exceptions. Curious to know what the hard line is for CP...

I think our rule is you have to be able to take a class within 6 months, so sounds like you are good to go.
