Searching their website, under job requirements it states 500 ME where as all their ads say at least 1000 ME. Which is true? Thanks.

I have flown with some guys who had less than 1000 ME. You need 1000 ME to upgrade. 500 is the min.

At one time they were hiring people with less than 1000 hours of multi time. I believe in the last month of two people have been well above the minimums since the stack of resumes has been flooded with more experience and high flight time.

Either way, you'll never get the job unless you apply. Best of luck.

I could be wrong, but was it Compass that was asking furloughed pilots, that they have to get taken off the seniority list of their other airline before they would hire them? I seem to remember reading about that, and can't even remember if it was indeed Compass or another place.

What exactly is Compass looking for?

I applied at Compass and today received one of those standard form letters saying my qualifications are exceptional but they have decided to pursue other candidates. So what are they looking for exactly, because I
had:

6100 Total
4800 Multiengine
4200 Turbine
4000 121 Experience
ATP First Class Medical

I don't get it. Anyone have any insight?

Heh, on the other hand, considering our f'd up HR department it's entirely possible they sent you the letter accidentally. I know someone who just got an invite to interview...and he's already been at CPS for 6 months!

I dug into the careers tab, search jobs for "pilot" and looked up requirements.

I did apply because really, it's networking. Thanks for the replies.

Ryan out!
