This does instill a little bit of hope. A bonus really isn’t a big deal to me, but if they’ll offer one I’m not going to balk at it. Of course, they have to resume hiring and finally give me a call haha.

When did hiring sort of come to a standstill this summer? I think I first sent my app in at the end of August, so I’m just curious how long/how many guys might have an app in ahead of me once they start up again.

I want to say it was around mid/late July when those in the pool were sent out information regarding available class dates for the rest of 2018 and told to select dates. i'm not 100% sure if that coincided with the hiring slow down but I believe it was in the same time frame.

...just for a little insight, in the most recent class which started in late October, 2 out of our 6 were offered CJOs back in March of this year.

so the pipeline of applicants already with CJOs waiting for class dates could be decently large. I do not know.

Classes were reduced from 4 a month to 2 a month during the summer. This was due to a few reasons: lack of sims, lack of instructors, upgrade priority, etc. There are airlines sending guys home for weeks and even months. We already have a pretty difficult initial syllabus so having too much time off during training would be hard on the new guys for sure.

Anyways moral of the story is the bonus will still exist at least for now albeit reduced. Classes are still being filled by poolies. I'd imagine we will back to calling people January/February of 2019.

Yeah I understand what caused the delay, I just didn't know exactly when it started. Makes me nervous though, since I'm on track to have my hours by the end of February or early March. So unless a bunch of guys ahead of me decline (because they've taken other jobs by now) and/or they can offer a class date that's soon after hiring resumes (which I know won't happen), I'm not even going to get in the pool. I wish I got some sort of acknowledgement other than the auto reply from airlineapps when I update my app each month... But I keep updating each month and hope for a call, because I'd totally come here unless they call in February and say the next date isn't until May.

There are much better and more stable options available...

People have been saying Compass is a sinking ship for years, yet here it still is. We weren't going to have enough pilots for summer flying, yet we did. Too many Chicken Littles on this site.

LOL, "stable'? Either you are new or you are ignorant. Stability in the airline biz? Hilarious.

At building C last week the new COO told us that hiring has not slowed (despite rumors) and classes were full through June so far, and hiring continues. FWIW.

Feb 11 2009 working for Colgan Airways appeared to be "stable." The next day not so much. In the end any regional - even a wholly owned - is a throw-away, if necessary to protect the brand of the major.
