Compass Pilot Pool Update;
Hello Everyone. This is another update for those of you awaiting a class slot here at Compass. Since our last update in December, we've run a series of new-hire classes. As of now, 25 pilots have been called from the pool in seniority order. Of those 25 pilots, 18 were placed into new-hire classes. We are currently in the process of evaluating our 2013 staffing needs based on projected attrition, airline growth, and retirements. Many of these metrics-as many of you already know-are very difficult to forecast due to the fickle nature of our industry.
I know those of you awaiting a class probably wanted to hear about more class slots, unfortunately, we are not anticipating anymore new-hire classes for the remainder of the first quarter of 2013. However with many of the mainline carriers spooling up their hiring for the year, it would be reasonable to assume that regionals will see an uptick in attrition, which should lead to more class slots. Until then, we appreciate your patience and urge you to maintain your current position and lifestyle until class dates are confirmed.
Barring any changes to our current hiring plan, our next update is planned for mid April. Until then, take care, and don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Thank you,
JD Olson
