The reason it would take that long is because you have to wait for all those guys and gals hired after you to finish all their training.

Example:

June 12 hire date - Begin homestudy...
July 14 - return from homestudy, begin Groundschool...
Late August / Early September - Finish IOE

In this scenario you would be eligible to bid in October. Depending on your seniority in your class, as well as how soon people finish training after you, will determine if you will hold a line in LAX in October or November. Either way, with when you are talking about getting hired, I would not expect more than 2 months on reserve. Hopefully this helps you in nailing down a timeline. Salud!
Thanks for the info, hired last month and in home study now. Looking forward to getting back flying! Sounds like a short life on reserve which is great, plus I'm a west coaster.

Any guys/gals setting up or have knowledge of crash pads out in LAX? I'll be looking for one starting beginning of June.

Default Contract?

What's the deal with the "contract" for $12,000 at $1000/month? If you sign on, is there a penalty for leaving early (before 1 year with the company)? Or is it simply a way to try and keep people there for at least a year?

That's typically how a training contract works.

The main reason is so the company doesn't spend a bunch of time, money and resources on someone to go through initial training and get an ERJ-170/190 type rating and possibly an ATP and then jump ship.

Compass is protecting themselves. The "keeping people around" is the places that gives you a bonus after a year or two of staying there. Sure the contract can help with that, but it's not the primary means of it.

Ok, that makes sense and pretty much what I figured, I just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the info.

I am not sure if this has been asked before, so Pls pardon me if it has been discussed earlier.

Will compass hire someone who works at the other TSH companies like G7 or TSA just like any other person or is there a negative bias??
