Kinda late to the party, but I submitted an application on 12/17, got a call on 12/30 for an interview on 1/11. She said something about a class date in early February.

 

Hey congrats and good luck on the interview, what were your times.

 

Thank you sir! About 3500 total, 2300 of that being 121.

Let us know how it goes. Details if you are comfortable providing them. Good Luck!! (dress warm) single digits in msp.

 

wow just realized my thread has lasted over a year...good luck to anyone trying to get on board, guess for what everyone keeps saying we are continuing to interview for newhire classes?

 

Heard they are interviewing some people next week

 

still using the "delta style" interview format?

3 tests and a panel interview?

 

That's what it was for me back in mid-November.

 

So I'm lookin for some info on Reserve life at Compass. Got an interview next week.

Can someone point out the bad parts of your contract in reference to Reserves? Do you have hot or airport ready reserves? How much are FOs flying on reserve.

Do you have a minimum day guarantee?

Are reserves breaking guarantee?

Also, I was told they are hiring for two classes, one starting Jan 28 and the other Feb 6.

 

11 days off per month.

Reserves put into "SILOs" and trips are assigned based on days left on reserve (one day trip for last day of reserve, two day trip for second to last day of reserve, etc.)

Ready reserve is eight hours. AM ready reserve is treated like a one day trip while PM ready reserve is treated like a two day trip.

You can preference your RAP (reserve availability period) but they are assigned by crew scheduling based on their need not which may or may not align with your preference.

RAPs are assigned the day before you start reserve at some time after 12:00 Central time. I haven't been on reserve in a while so I can tell you exactly when they have been assigned lately. This can cause commuting issues.

RAPs are 15 hours long, though the most you can be scheduled for duty is 14 hours extend-able to 16.
The min duty period guarantee is 3:30 but doesn't include RAPs.

It ebbs and flows...I don't know what is going on currently.

When I was on reserve I didn't fly much, but I was usually the senior reservist and worked Monday through Friday when there are fewer open trips. I was also a Captain, which has generally been staffed higher.

That's good.
