Below 50% in seniority in 10 months. Fast movement here for sure

Which base is the most senior of the 3 for Captains and FO’s?

CD9

There’s a decent sized pool of people already waiting for classes. Compass isn’t doing the hiring for class dates months away unlike others. To be honest, I’m unsure which hiring method is better.

Dunno either. I know some major's have discrete windows and won't even take applications outside those times while some seem to just let airline apps accumulate and depend on internal recommendations from their own pilots to help sort the wheat from the chaff. Then there are the guys that put you in a pool in a neat line behind previous selectees and those that put you in a pool and just let you swim until you out swim everybody else in the pool. Lot of ways to do it I guess.

I think we also up fronted bonus money to a number of RTP guys who sort of go to the head of the line when they hit their mins because CPZ already has/had money invested in them, although I think the majority of those are already through training and on the line now.

We are hiring. Ramping it up actually. Our classes are full until May. We are actually trying to add classes before then. We just don't want the month off training between ground school and sims like a lot of airlines are doing.

I'm not sure why I never got a call. App was fine, I had an internal req, interviewed with 3 others, got two offers, and have a class coming up. Compass was always my first but guess I wasn't theirs. Oh well, good luck to all the hopefulls.

Right now it seems like a lot of new hires are getting SEA out of the gate but with the movement were seeing you should be able to transfer to your base of choice before your on the line. As far as CA's go, when MSP closed I think a lot of guys went to SEA but in my opinion things have fanned out. Again with our movement your going to get a good mix of seniority at each base.

So I received an email about 3 weeks ago asking me to call the pilot recruiting number. I called, it went straight to voicemail, left my name and number. Nothing for a week, tried again, straight to voicemail, left my name and number again. Since then I've tried calling about once a day since just to see if anyone would pick up, they haven't. It's been about 3 weeks of silence, has anyone else had this experience?

That’s basically how it was for me. Funny enough the way I ultimately was able to get through was via Facebook Messenger. They seemed to be the most responsive there as opposed to email or phone calls.

Unfortunately there aren’t pilots in the office every week. So if you don’t hear back, that’s the reason. As soon as there is, all calls are returned. Sorry you had to deal with that though.
