17% raise to cave on scope? Whoever you heard that from must have been smoking something good. I think you would have to be in the neighborhood of 117% raises before Delta pilots would consider caving again. The Delta pilots are not stupid. They all are very aware of how scope has slowed all of their careers.

Not going to happen in 2012.

Everyone here at CPS is hoping you're right...and that the senior guys at DL have the same opinion as you

anyone know if compass still has a certain recency requirement? something like 300 hours in the last 12 months?

Not sure there ever was a recency requirement. There have been many furloughed pilots hired here in the past that had little to no time within 12 months. I've been here for over 2 years, so maybe things have changed. The mins should be posted on the Compass website.

My sim partner hadn't flown anything in 8 years, but that was back in 2007 so I can only say there was no currency requirement back then, and have not heard of one since. Honestly, playing xbox regularly will probably help you fly the ejet more than having had some recent bounces in a Cessna! Sad but true...

And it will help with the COG test at the interview

It changes pretty frequently based on what Delta wants, but there's no map I know of. In a basic sense, we go all over North America, some close flights but also as far as Vancouver, Montreal, Florida and Santa Ana for example.

It isn't out of the ordinary to do a day like IAD-MSP-YVR. Some regional eh?
