I wouldn't go THAT far.

At Emirates, as an FO, you'll make about 7,000 USD per month not counting your per diem, you'll also have your housing paid for (imagine THAT in the U.S.), and you'll fly brand-spanking new equipment with your FA's all being in their 20's and great looking if you're single...

Also, in DBX, you don't need kevlar or be armed... unlike DTW. ;)

Question to Compass pilots, out of what base do the reserves fly the most right now, MSP, MEM or DTW? Looks like MEM has the best trips PHX, BOS layovers as well but do you guys in MSP ever get up there. Also I hear there are not very many reserves in Memphis compared to DTW and MSP.

Yes, but you have to live in Dubai. At least when based in DTW you can live somewhere far away from downtown, and be close to family.

Or you can bring family with you, live on the beach, have the company pay for your kids' private school... and make more than poverty wage. ;)

Well, I make more then poverty wages here in the Good Ole USA. I also burn easy.:p

Hope all is well for anyone in the sandbox. To each their own.

Cheers:)

What is the news on Compass hiring? Do you have to have a few internal recommendations to wade through the sea of online applications? Is the 1000ME a must? Are there any scheduled interviews or training class?

That's maybe the dumbest thing I've seen on here for a while. Next.

It's sad how so many people in this profession just don't have a sense of humor. It just makes for a long day/trip/month...

NEXT!

I'll have a sense of humor again when we aren't in the process of furloughing half our pilot group.
