Job Fair
Some of you may have seen the info on the Safety Seminar and Pilot Job Fair to be held near LGA next month. Looks like Compass and JetBlue will be there. Can someone tell me what they are doing?? Are they, specifically Compass, seriously hiring people at these things? To go would require $100 for the seminar and job fair, in addition to atleast 1, maybe 2 nights at a hotel. I'm estimating a cost of $400 to commute in and attend this. Compass has held a couple of job fairs in the past and no one has really talked about them on here. So... can someone answer.. what's the scoop, what's really going on, and what is Compass realistically looking for in a candidate at one of these things.

Do they conduct interviews on the spot? If one were to decide to go would it be appropriate to expect them to sit down with me and fire off some systems questions, brief some apph plates etc, ya know, typical interview gouge items....??

Well Compass will be in a unique situation when the industry starts to turn around. Hopefully they are using fore thought to prepare for this.
1. We have very high time pilots on average for a regional. Remember when you require ATP mins and 1000 multi to hire a new fo that they will likely be able to get another job when things turn around. Also we have a VERY large # of refugees from other airlines with 5- 10k hours or more. Many of these are in the right seat too and looking for the next Real job and dont need an upgrade to move on. 2. When Delta does start to hire (one Day) we will already have our max # of flow's ready and eligible. So if they even hire 1 class of 20 pilots it would wipe out 11% of our CA's immediately and if they hire 2 classes well then you looking at almost 25% of our CA's gone...probably at the same time other companies will be hiring our FO's So if they are smart they better keep their finger on the trigger because Compass is in a unique situation when it comes to staffing....for what its worth |
Why would an FO leave Compass if the hiring has started? That FO doesn't have to interview to get hired at Delta.... unless of course that FO can't stand working for mainline Delta.

That's some great sugar coating...unless you want to add in the part where Delta flows back to Compass and everybody sitting in a seat at Compass gets furloughed or downgraded.
its less likely to happen now than ever before amd every month that goes by makes it even less likely. |
