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.

Part of this formation included a "flow up" and "flow down" (first to Northwest, then to Delta after the merger). Delta didn't want a wholly owned airline in 2010, so they sold us (and TSH decided to buy us). For a long time, Compass kept much of the leadership and didn't conform to the "TSH way" although that's unfortunately been changing the last few years. The flow also went away when Delta sold us (guys hired at Compass prior to the sale were still allowed to flow, but the last of those guys left in late 2015-early 2016). So long story short, Compass is not a "black mark" on your resume should you come here. In fact, Delta seems to hire a very large number of Compass guys especially when considering our relatively small size in relation to other regionals.
Hope that answers your question.

But yes, I don't think the majors care as much about what airline you work for as they did in the past.
