It won't be if you negotiate to fly the RJs...It wasn't with Compass or MidAtlantic....Compass is essentially the new "starting pay" at Delta.....

I guess it depends on which interview you go to. ;)

If all flying is brought to "mainline"....it won't matter...It will be Compass/MidAtlantic style at the bottom...No thanks...

I am having trouble updating my flight times. I was told you can update your times in a field like when I first applied. The only way I can right now is to post a new resume. Is that right?

Well, maybe. But neither one of us can be sure of that.;)

JoeyM,

Which would you prefer:

1) Current DCI whipsaw games

or

2) Biting a bullet and bringing RJ's in like 'Compass/Midatlantic?

Can anyone tell me if the pay scale on here "APC" for Compass is correct? Someone told me it isn't.

Also.... Does anyone know how long it takes in MSP between the home study stuff and to go on to IOE???

Thanks ahead of time!

Ohiocrjfo,

Show up in MSP on your own. Do pre-employment medical, next day is an Indoc class. Go home 'study' for 30 days (you're paid around $400) for the 30 days of home study and under a normal pace you can knock it out in a week.

Then go to MSP for about 5 weeks, consisting of more indoc, systems, procedures, flows and simulator. Normally you'll have weekends off during training to go home or study. After the sim check you'll have 2-4 days off before starting IOE.

good luck

Does anyone know a good place to find interview question for Compass?

The one question is "How are you?"

Speaking of reserve, it was cake. I only had one month where i flew over 75 hrs, the other months I was averaging 40-50. Laid back! I think not being in MSP was key to it all.

This is a good example of how reserve use to look before HQ moved to MSP. Now that there are all new schedulers in MSP (all the experienced ones quit instead of moving from IAD to MSP) things have changed dramatically for the worse. The situation will probably improve when more pilots come onboard and the schedulers start observing the contract due to the settlement of numerous grievances, but for the near term I would expect to see more junior manning below min days off, calls in the middle of the night for notification, more airport reserve shifts, and attempts to call you out under your 2 hr callout.
