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.[/QUOTE]
Most FOs don't have 1000pic at 121 operators....just not true....

Agreed, I'd say ~45% have some previous TPIC, and maybe 25% have 1000 121 TPIC.

/pulled those numbers straight outta my butt

just wondering if I have not receiving "thanks, but no thanks" email so far, is that good or bad? If I have DTW cp bang drum for me, what's my chance to get on with Compass?

Yeah I applied a few weeks ago and got a rejection email back a few days later. A buddy of mine, also a CA at Compass, made sure my "stuff" got pushed through after I got the email. It sounds like they got back to my friend on Friday saying I need some 121 experience. I have 1700tt and 1100multi turbine, all part 91. Like applying anywhere, having an internal rec is always a plus.

I do have about 3000 hours of 121 time, no jet time though. Have not receive anything from Compass. Do they email or call you for interview?

I got a call to interview the other day. She said they are looking to fill a couple classes in December. Last I heard it was much like the DL interview but back in MSP now.

I have 1740 TT, 900 ME, currently flying 121.

I did the Delta interview at CP 5 months ago, it was a very fare interview. But I was told a couple weeks ago that it has been changed again. I was informed TSH didn't want Compass to continue that interview style. What style they chose? I have no idea. Be prepared for anything.

There are quite a few guys in training with similar hours to yours. Compass, like almost every airline, has realized that just because you have 5000 hours, doesn't mean you will be trainable or like-able.

I've had mine in since 2008. Kept updating every few months. Went to the job fair in Vegas and had a couple more internal recs. Keep sticking it out. I know how you feel.
