For those applying, you folks hearing anything back lately? Trying to get a highly qualified friend in for even an interview but he can’t seem to get a response.

That's just CP not looking ahead and planning their hiring accordingly so we're properly staffed for the future. We're good now, so they'll wait till we're short on pilots, say "oh shoot, we're way understaffed we need to hire pilots!" Then they'll start making calls, have interviews, give CJOs, as we're short staffed and have no reserves. Then after a few months of being extremely short handed, pilots will start to hit the line, we'll get fat on FOs, then recruiting will go on vacation saying we're good on pilots... for now. Rinse, repeat.

Referred a former student and good friend of mine around that same time. Solid guy, exceeded ATM mins by a bunch, lots of King Air time. Never heard a peep even after I made several emails to recruiting. He has a class date at Horizon now.

Hi all, applied in july, heard back last week. Unfortunately I already started somewhere else and am through ioe. Good luck to the rest of you still seeking out Compass.

Good luck to you too, Journeybird. These are exciting times. I don’t really blame Compass recruiting for slowing things down as we started to get caught up in staffing with a lot of RTP guys they had advanced money to still coming in, but I wish they would have been more communicative to you guys about our actual status and future hiring timelines (assuming they knew). It would have just plain been more courteous when dealing with guys and gals making a big step in their careers.

Fair skies...

I harbor no ill feelings, I just barely missed the hiring spree. It is what it is, hope Compass works for those who are still looking for their next step.

Hi, thanks for sharing. Did they get in touch with you through email or phone?
