I'm looking forward to getting on the line.
This airline has been midwest based since it's beginning, which made most applicants local to the area. There are a few outliers but alot live in either MSP or DTW. Most don't want to commute when they can drive to work. Look at Skywest and ORD for example, a base that is out of the norm compared to their normal base region. It's Jr for them and LAX is the same for CPZ.

Understandable considering it spawned from the Northwest era - but I'm happy to hear they are looking to open West Coast bases, but at the same time I hope it doesn't stir too many guys in the Midwest.

Is there a contractual agreement for new hires at Compass? Meaning, if you get hired, is there a minimum amount of time you have to work there? I've seen a lot of that discussion in other threads

There is a 12 month pro rated $12,000 training contract. Otherwise no.

Does anyone know if Compass will count helicopter pic toward the 1500 if I have a MEL-ATP? Looked on their page but couldn't find anything.

Thank you

I imagine it will stay that way until the flows dry up this year.

Hi Alaska. Can you check your PM's or do you just prefer not to respond to them??

If you leave less than a year, do you have to pay anything back?

Yes? $1000 for every month before 12 months?
