Compass Issues
Anyways.....so until Compass CAN NOT afford to be so picky (if and when that day ever comes), they are going to be subtle sticklers for all 3 (or at the very least a combination of any 2)......jet time, glass time, & 121 time. Good luck guys![/QUOTE]
Compass is loaded with experience. Most FO's have over 1000hrs jet PIC previous to being at Compass. Compass has already seen attrition due to Emrites, AirTran and Virgin hiring. Add the flow through and other airlines that are starting to hire and Compass will be at the back of the line looking for talent. |

For orientation anyone have any hotel recommendations that have a shuttle and a decent price?
What about crashpads for the main portion of training? I plan on having my vehicle so public transit isn't a big concern. Feel free to pm me. |

As far as a crash pad I would suggest PMing mynameisjim. He is a local in MSP and rents rooms in his house for training. Good luck.

That's what I'm hoping for. I'm planning to wait until the end of Dec/early Jan before I apply to a few of other regionals; should have U.S. citizenship/passport by then. I've waited 12 years for a regional job, what's another few months. ;) Thanks for the info.
This wait can be the difference between having a job vs. being furloughed. |

Anyone have any hard information from hr on how many more are to be hired? Is compass still conducting interviews? When will classes run till?
Average flight times of new hires has been roughly 2500 TT. Low end is about 1600, recent high end 9000. However that top end was an internal hire, if you disregard him, the high end drops to about 6700. I don't recall multi times, sorry. Everyone in this hiring cycle (approx Spring 2010 onward) is prior 121, vast majority, I'd say +90% are 121 regional. Seeing plenty of Horizon and Mesa folks, followed by Mesaba, Comair, Colgan, Commutair, etc. Have not seen a pure 135 pilot in quite some time, probably over a year now. Hope this helps. I don't know the status of interviews right now, or how many slots are filled in the remaining classes. Also, there may be more classes after January 31, but I don't know if the training plan after that date has been set yet. |

Recent class size has varied from a high of nine to a low of five (was supposed to be six, but one changed his mind). I don't know planned class sizes for the next classes, but I would estimate a target of six per class.
