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

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

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!
...hoping for word soon!

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.

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.
